The aforementioned Casino case is one of the most extensive fraud cases ever handled by a Swedish court.
On 24 January earlier this year, 108 people were convicted in Uppsala District Court for interference.
The principal behind the pyramid-like scheme was sentenced to eight years in prison, and several others were sentenced to many years in prison and large damages.
75 people chose to appeal the verdict, and the Court of Appeal now chooses to reduce the sentence slightly for the principal, to 7 years and 6 months in prison.
- The Court of Appeal considers that one should take into account that he has been detained for a long time with restrictions and I can buy that, prosecutor Thomas Bälter explains.
Several are completely acquitted
13 people are sentenced by the Court of Appeal to imprisonment for between 3 months and 3 years.
Most others are sentenced to a suspended sentence with a fine or community service.
The Court of Appeal completely acquits one person who has been convicted of gross fraud and seven people who have been convicted of serious money laundering or money laundering in the district court.
Prosecutor Thomas Bälter says he is satisfied with the big picture, but has certain views.
- I am less satisfied with the fact that the Court of Appeal acquits certain people, including one of the recruiters who I believe should be convicted as the perpetrator, while the Court of Appeal considers that his role has been far too small.
