It was during the autumn of 2020 that the threats began to come against the middle manager.
One day, his allergy medicine mysteriously disappeared and he received a letter:
When your allergy medicine disappeared, this was a first warning (...) Be sure to end your employment immediately, before the next action comes. Do you dare to take a chance ??
After this, there will be more threatening letters.
But as SVT previously wrote, the threats were fabricated by the middle manager himself, now he is being prosecuted for dishonest conduct.
In addition, he is required to pay just over SEK 450,000 in compensation from the company.
The revelation
According to the police's preliminary investigation, the company was divided into camps - where some were anxious to find the culprit, while others "thought that [the middle manager] was ridiculous".
The man had a conversation with a psychologist.
He got a secret home, and rental cars that were replaced twice a week.
In addition, the company hired a former head of the police perpetrator profile group and a professor of criminology to provide a picture of the perpetrator and risk assess the threat picture.
Scanned computer
They stated that it was probably a lone perpetrator, with good knowledge of the man's life.
But they did not go further than that.
Finally, the IT department was given permission to search the middle manager's computer remotely.
The next day, they were able to present their revelation: deleted copies of the "threat letters" were on the company's own cloud service and had been printed on the workplace's printer.
They were written and written by the middle manager himself.
The explanation
Confronted with the information, the man chose to tell.
In police interrogation, he finds it difficult to explain why, more than that he was suffering from grief and felt lonely and depressed.
The man confesses to the crime.
But he maintains that his allergy medicine was indeed stolen.
