The whole thing must have taken place in January 2018. In the suspicious tangle involving nearly 2 million kroner, the player had 150,000 kroner deposited into his account.
Later that day, he forwarded the amount, which came from the suspected fraud ring, to other recipients divided into smaller sums.
The player and another person are suspected of money laundering and a third person of serious money laundering.
The player knew the money was coming but did not do their own research into whether the money was from crime.
"No, I did not.
I didn't do anything special.
I asked the person if it was a big deal and he said it wasn't.
Nothing I thought about.
The person asked me as he had problems with his own account.
I don't remember what the problem was, but it was something with his account," says the player in police questioning.
The player claims that a friend won the money gambling and that he should have only helped the person pass on the money so that he reached his Swish limit.
The player denies wrongdoing.
Prosecutor Carl Eideland is demanding a suspended sentence and a fine for the player.
- I expect a guilty verdict, that is one of the requirements I have to bring charges.
The applicable penalty in the event of a conviction is a suspended sentence and a fine.
It should also be taken into account that the act took place five years ago.
There is absolutely no question of imprisonment as a penalty, he tells Expressen.
The soccer player was acquitted earlier this year of a similar crime, writes Aftonbladet.
