The 54-year-old Blekinge entrepreneur is said to have used various limited partnerships to pick up goods in various Jysk department stores in southern Sweden.
But after a while, the furniture company realized that the payments were not made and put his name and company in their security systems.
By then, Jysk had lost goods worth more than SEK 600,000.
- He visited several different department stores in a short time and made smaller orders in different companies, which made it difficult to detect.
Now, however, we have changed our routines to put an end to this type of crime, says Daniel Persson, communications manager at Jysk.
Twelve million kroner
Jysk is far from the only company that is suspected of having been affected by the Blekinge entrepreneur.
SVT has previously reported that Telia has got rid of mobile phones for millions - and several major DIY stores and electronics chains have also got rid of goods.
Today, those companies with a direct connection to the 54-year-old have debt balances totaling more than SEK 12 million.
- It is a rejection of the system that a person can continue to commit a crime even though he has been convicted and must serve a sentence, says Daniel Persson.
Denies crime
The 54-year-old believes that he has not committed any fraud, neither against Jysk nor any other companies.
- I have nothing to do with it, says the Blekinge entrepreneur to SVT Nyheter Blekinge.
Store assistant Petronella Wessman in Lund was the one who sounded the alarm to the police when the 54-year-old entered the store. Hear her tell in the clip above.
