Took out over SEK 43,000 – member of Ung Pirat Öst is sentenced for embezzlement

The incident was discovered in the spring of the same year in connection with another member at central level discovering that several transactions had been carried out from Ung Pirat Öst’s account that looked suspicious.

The withdrawals had been made even though there was basically no activity in the association. There was also no basis for what the transfers were for.

The member acknowledges

The defendant – a young woman who was also responsible for the association’s finances – admits that she made the alleged transfers. She has also not been able to show that she had corresponding expenses.

Västmanland district court considers that the explanation that the woman compensated other members for their outlay in cash is so improbable that it can be disregarded.
