Almost 100 times the man was able to use the municipality's card before his suspected fraud was discovered. According to the lawsuit, between 10 January 2017 and 26 August 2018, the man must have refueled with the municipality's debit card for a total of SEK 71,000.

Used the card in different municipalities

The card must have been used in several of the county's municipalities and around Sweden.

"In view of the system and the illegal use of the municipality's card, every act should be considered a violation of the normal degree," the lawsuit states.

The municipality requires that the man, who confesses to crime, repays the amount plus interest.
