It is morally wrong to pay this compensation, I think, says Per Svensson (S), chairman of the municipal board in Falkenberg.
Do not want to be limited
If Hans Forsberg had committed a crime where the maximum penalty had exceeded two years' imprisonment, the decision could have looked different.
- Many have discussed whether it is right to receive a pension if you have committed a crime, but the agreement states that it is possible to deviate from the agreement if it is a crime that gives two years imprisonment or more and it is not here, says Lisa Andersson (M), chairman of the municipal board in an earlier interview with SVT Nyheter Halland.
In Falkenberg municipality, they do not want to be limited by where the crime ends up on the penalty scale.
- There are quite a few crimes that result in less than two years in prison that still damage trust.
For example, assault, drunk driving and buying sex.
Then you may not have the benefit of adjustment support, says Per Svensson (S)
The new conditions for adjustment support in Falkenberg municipality are expected to be ready by the turn of the year.
In the clip above, the chairman of the municipal board in Falkenberg, Per Svensson (S), tells more about why they want to tighten the conditions.
