It was at the end of April 2020 that the municipal housing company in Luleå sounded the alarm about financial crime and invoice fraud for two years. These include air invoices and Lulebo was considered to have been defrauded of up to ten million kronor - maybe more.
About thirty police officers are working on the operation, which SVT was able to reveal already on Monday, which has been preceded by a huge investigation.
Several companies linked to the crime
The Public Prosecutor's Office now announces that evidence securing and other investigative measures are underway.
Several companies are suspected of being linked to the crime, which is classified as gross infidelity to the principal, alternatively aiding and abetting gross infidelity against the principal and gross fraud.
- The effort is a result of the investigation that has been ongoing since the spring of 2020. Several investigators have worked with a very large investigation material.
The investigation will continue to be extensive, says Inspector Per Finnberg at the police department for serious crimes in Norrbotten.
It is unclear how many people are in custody.
