About twelve million kronor of the independent school's tuition money disappeared to other things, according to chief prosecutor Henric Fagher at the Swedish Environmental Crime Agency.
He believes that Römosseskolan paid an unreasonable amount for IT services, compared to other schools.
A large part of the "surplus" is said to have been sent to two organizations in Somalia.
The former headmaster, Abdirizak Waberi, has admitted that money was sent to Somalia.
Denies crime
During the trial, the prosecutor demanded imprisonment for four and a half years for the former school principal, who is accused of, among other things, gross embezzlement.
The district court went completely along this line.
Abdirizak Waberi, a former member of parliament for the moderates, claimed during the trial that the school's money that would have been used for IT services could instead be sent to Somalia, as several people provided computer services and digitization for free.
Another person is sentenced together with Waberi to a suspended sentence for a serious accounting violation.
This person is also banned from eating for three years.
Risk of closing
In parallel with the process of suspected economic crimes, a legal process is underway for the schools themselves.
The Swedish Schools Inspectorate has wanted to close the schools since October, because it did not trust that the school's management had control over the finances.
However, the schools are still open, awaiting new reviews of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate's decision.
