A man who ran a dropout program for young criminals has been sentenced to nine months in prison for two cases of aggravated tax fraud, reports P4 Stockholm.
The man and his dropout program, which collaborated with a sports association in Stockholm, allegedly had financial difficulties, forcing the man to take private loans in various forms. The loans were then paid off with the company's money, according to P4 Stockholm.
According to the district court, the man thereby withheld a total of approximately two million kronor from taxation. Money that the district court should have reported and declared as income.
The man, who no longer runs the program, claims that he had to choose between paying the Tax Authority or his friends. He then chose the latter.
