“M-top avoid prosecution: ”He has been careless,””
“the Prosecutor put down the investigation against Michael Svensson”
“Right now the ongoing police investigations against the two politicians after Aftonbladet’s review. “
“at the same time, has the investigation been down to the previous M-the top Michael Svensson – who took out thousands of dollars for the distances he claimed to have been running in Sweden at the same time as he was abroad. “
“– All based on the fact that it has been wrong and that he has been careless, ” says prosecutor Joakim Zander, who do not prosecute. “
“Some big review of riksdagsledamöternas expense reports, Power receipts, had enormous impact.”
“Nine members were forced to arvodesavdrag, a member upptaxerades with 133 000 sek, the four members left their assignments – and four criminal investigations were initiated.”
“Förundersökningarna against SD member Patrick Reslow and former SD member Stefan Jakobsson is in progress. “
“But prosecutors Joakim Zander has laid down the investigations against the previous KD-top Caroline Szyber and recently against Michael Svensson. “
“Svensson had received 378 000 sek in bilersättning ago in 2014, the most of all mps.”
“Aftonbladet could reveal that Svensson had been paid for a series of distances which he claimed to have been driving in Sweden – while he was abroad. “
“Smith was, among other things, paid for a number of journeys that would have been run in Sweden when he vacationed in Thailand. He also got the bilersättning for the distances he claimed to have been running in Sweden at the same time as he was in Israel, Austria, Taiwan, Germany, France and the Canary islands. “
“The former mp for the moderate party had also repeatedly not made a deduction for his girlfriend’s accommodation in the World.”
“After Aftonbladet’s revelations admitted Michael Svensson wrong and wanted to repay the housing, and a number of distances. He also changed the dates on a number of other rides he received compensation. “
“In connection with the revelations he pulled back his candidacy for the elections in 2018.”
“It started a preliminary investigation on the suspected fraud. “
“It has recently closed down. “
“”He has been careless,””
“– He has provided data, which means that he has done wrong but he has been negligent, but it is not punishable, says prosecutors Joakim Zander. “
“He has admitted that he has taken the paid for rides that never have been run – how can it be legal?”
” It’s not legal, if you consciously make it that way. The thing is that he has left a story which means that it does not have been aware. “
“– He has had calendars in which he has made notes, and then he has misunderstood it. He has not made changes in the calendar after changes have been made in reality. And then when he has gathered together and typed expense reports so it has become crazy. “
“He has also taken charge of the accommodation for their partners, and then paid back, admitted that it is wrong, how can it be legal?”
“– He has also provided explanations for it, which I cannot refute. “
“– All based that it has become wrong and that he has been careless. “
“You can understand if you are careless once or twice. But here are tons of the times in his case. It is well that many think is strange.”
“– Yes, and many should be excited that it is quite difficult to get a person convicted in court for crimes. It should be put beyond reasonable doubt that you committed a crime intentionally, when it is the matter of intentional offences, and I do not see that I can set it beyond reasonable doubt. “
“In the prosecutor’s decision is, inter alia, that ”the alleged stated that he was not aware that deductions would be made for the co-applicant”. “
“Continuing to investigate Reslow”
“Michael Svensson tells Aftonbladet that he is ”relieved”. “
“– About 90 per cent of car journeys are undertaken and are not fabricated and there is no intent. What applies to car journeys, I have repaid about sek 4 000 during the term of office. What comes to Almedalen is it for me, as for many others, a lack of knowledge and unclear rules. Given that the supplied do not involve any added cost I had not any thought that deduction would be made. “
“SD member Patrick Reslow and former SD member Stefan Jakobsson is still under investigation for suspected crimes. “
“– Förundersökningarna going on and my directive is about to be executed, and I comment not on the other way, ” says Joakim Zander. “
“members of the Swedish Parliament enacts laws and makes important decisions about the country’s economy.”
“But how the politicians have themselves dealt with the voters’ tax money in this term of office?”
“The vast majority have not abused their generous benefits – but there are exceptions. “
“Aftonbladet’s reporters Richard Aschberg, Anders Johansson and Mattias Sandberg has reviewed all the members’ expense reports – and can now, among other things, reveal how members:”
“According to one judge, it may in some cases be actionable fraud.”
