24-year-old is suspected of money laundering

The 24-year-old, who lives in Broby, has been charged with money laundering. The man, who denies the charge, is suspected of having received 15,000 crowns into his bank account via Swish, money which he later withdrew from different bankomats in Kristianstad and elsewhere in the country, according to the indictment.

The money which was swished to his account was part of a swindle in which two couples were done out of hundreds of thousands of crowns.

One of the fraudsters phoned in the evening to the couples in their homes and said he was calling from their bank. The man asked if they were abroad and had tried to buy anything there. When the women said they hadn't, the man told them to use their bank-id to log into their account to block their cards.

The following day the other couple received an sms from their bank telling them that their balance was low. They found that someone had transferred more than 900,000 crowns to six newly-opened accounts, and 15,000 crowns had been swished to the 24-year-old's account.
