Last week, Region Västerbotten announced that they filed a police report regarding suspected irregularities in the asset management of pension money.
During Tuesday, a preliminary investigation was started by the ecocrime authority concerning infidelity against the principal. But that investigation is now being taken over by the National Anti-Corruption Unit at the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
– I have given directives to the police about questioning and other things, says prosecutor Arne Fors.
Gross bribery
The crime of bribery is considered serious, something that can mean six years in prison, if someone is convicted. At present, no person has been served with suspicion of a crime. The investigation will also look at whoever may have paid the bribe.
– Taking and giving usually go hand in hand, says Arne Fors, prosecutor at the National Anti-Corruption Unit.
