The employees are suspected of having used the school's premises, resources and materials.

Income related to the education must have gone to at least one of the employees and it must have taken place in agreement between several who worked at the school.

The school's principal has already been fired and now five employees are being laid off.

In addition, two more employees are suspended pending further investigation.

Employee at the education administration fired

The investigation also shows that an employee at the education administration has used a position at the school in an improper manner and thereby failed in his assignment.

The employee at the education administration has therefore also been notified of dismissal.

- What has been discovered is unacceptable and I hope that the employment law processes go quickly, so that the dismissal can be implemented as soon as possible, says Anette Älmdalen, director of education in Botkyrka municipality.

Part of the municipality's work against cheating

It was in connection with the municipality's work against fraud and corruption that the suspicions were discovered.

This is what Botkyrka municipality's education director said at the end of May.
