Then came the verdict against Östersund FK's former chairman Daniel Kindberg. He and the other two co-accused are sentenced by Ångermanland district court to prison.
Daniel Kindberg, who has been central to the prosecution, is sentenced to three years in prison. But on ÖFK's side, they do not want to comment on the judgment of their former chairman.
- We do not comment on Daniel Kindberg's judgment but only the part that concerns ÖFK, namely Driftaren AB, says Niclas Lidström.
ÖFK's company The operator is judged to pay SEK 500,000 in company fines. About this, the district court writes in its judgment:
“Daniel Kindberg is convicted of gross accounting violation in the Drifter. The crime has been committed in business and is related to the operations of the Operator. As stated under indictment 7, Daniel Kindberg has been a so-called de facto representative in Driftaren AB who had a controlling influence in the company and held such a position that he was empowered to make decisions with the Driftaren. There are therefore prerequisites for imposing the Company fine on the Operator. "
- We will have a discussion with our lawyer during the day and then we will see if we should appeal, says Niclas Lidström, press officer at ÖFK.
This means that they have received money from ÖFK in a criminal way, how serious are they?
- We do not know if this will be appealed to the Court of Appeal, if it is stated there they are obviously serious and not good for ÖFK. But now we have to deal with the situation that is.
Do you think today's judgment can affect ÖFK sporting in any way?
- No, I don't think so.
