According to the indictment, the man has managed at least three people to pay over SEK 125,000 to his girlfriend or sister's bank accounts. He is charged with seven counts of gross blackmail or attempted blackmail and one case of fraud.

Was threatened while reporting crime

On several occasions, the man has threatened to harm the men he has blackmailed against. In one case, threats came via text message while one of the men was at the police station and made the report. At that time, the man had paid SEK 20,000 to the extortionist and was demanded an additional SEK 95,000.

In the police preliminary investigation you can read: "soon we do not want money", "[...] They are now sufficiently targeted, you only lie, lie". Furthermore, the suspect writes in sms "The old man was probably right if you shit you fucking we take you three", "You take the wrong path with completely the wrong people".

The accused man's sister and girlfriend are both charged with money laundering. It is in their accounts that the money has come in and they have then passed it on.
