For five years, from 2012 to 2017, the fraud took place. The employed person received a total of SEK 1.6 million by misleading the finance department at the municipality of Härnösand with incorrect verifications. The money was paid to the employee's account.
"The crime is to be considered as serious since it has been done systematically for a long time, with a total significant value, and has been done by means of forged documents and forged name signatures," the prosecutor writes in the prosecution, among others.
The thefts affected the already heavily strained school budget, argued the school board chairman Monica Fällström (S), in connection with the prosecution was brought.
The suspected person no longer works at the municipality.
