Prior to the sale of the town hall, two valuations of the property were made. One landed at SEK 104 million, the other at SEK 51 million. The political majority chose - without bidding - to sell to a real estate company managed by Karlstadson Mikael Solberg at the lower price. Assignments Investigation investigations show that it was a friend of Mikael Solberg, Göran Österman, who, through the regional project Buisiness Värmland, merged Mikael Solberg and Karlstad municipality. The cap that would make politicians snap was hundreds of jobs in a new IT company that would become the new Facebook. But the IT company went bankrupt with multi-million debt.
