The main suspect in the money laundering scandal is a woman and it is in one of her homes that "Linda" rents a basement apartment.

The basement apartments that are rented out in connection with the suspected money laundering in Boliden are described as life-threatening.

The addict "Linda" lives there and pays SEK 6,500 a month for the misery.

Lacks escape routes

"Linda" shows together with another resident the apartments for SVT Nyheter Västerbotten.

The three basement apartments have no escape routes and there are open electrical cables hanging on the walls and ceiling.

One of the basement apartments has no windows at all.

- I do not know how to get out if it starts to burn, she says.

You can see how they live in the clip.

Want to avoid homelessness

In connection with Northvolt, which, among other things, will manufacture batteries for electric cars, established itself in Skellefteå, the pressure on the housing market increased.

Something that affected "Linda" and the other person.

Both say that these homes are their only chance to avoid homelessness in Skellefteå.

They have punished themselves out of the ordinary housing market and can be hired by someone who does not care about references or payment remarks.

They say that they pay SEK 6,500 a month in rent because that is the limit that the social services accept for income support.

- But what should soc do?

With Northvolt, it became very difficult to get somewhere to live.

I'm still grateful to have a roof over my head, says "Linda".

"Linda" is actually called something else.

Suspected of money laundering detained

The woman who is suspected of money laundering in connection with a number of real estate transactions in the area is in custody in her absence.

SVT Nyheter Västerbotten has also tried to get in touch with her.
