During the period from November 2018 to the end of October last year, the victim was forced to pay her extortionists in various ways.
He has transferred money with swish and a bank account, paid for a car, bought mobile phones and subscriptions, jewelry, clothing, televisions and other capital goods, paid rental cars and took out credits for his plague spirit.
In total, the prosecutor claims that the men forced values for SEK 1.6 million.
Two are considered the main responsible
Two of the men, a 24-year-old man and a 31-year-old man, are considered the main culprits in the crimes. The third, 27, has only been involved for a short time.
Both the 24-year-old and the 31-year-old have been detained for more than six months.
In addition, eight other people are being prosecuted for money laundering offenses because they have received extortion money and capital goods.
One of the accused is the mother of the 24-year-old, another is the ex-girlfriend of the 31-year-old.
Very complete case
“This is a very long case,” says prosecutor Anna Broomé.
– The crimes have been going on for a long period of time and have peacefully hit a person who has had difficulties. It is awful
According to the prosecutor, the crimes were first directed at the victim’s son, a 25-year-old criminal, who would “fine” him for something he allegedly did.
– The son had no money, so his father had to pay. After that, the demands were directed at the father, says Anna Broomé.
“I have never seen anything like this”
Lawyer Lars Kruse, who defends the 31-year-old man, says the whole case depends on who he wants to trust.
– This is a very, very strange case. I’ve never seen anything like it, says Lars Kruse.
– It is completely incomprehensible that a person can be induced to act in this way. Absolutely crazy.It’s really strange and I don’t think the whole truth has been revealed.
Lars Kruse has a completely different image than the prosecutor of what hit the Småland man.
Many trial days
He claims that his client is completely innocent and that he was brought to light by the 24-year-old. The 31-year-old man has never met the victim, he says.
Instead, the prosecution sees the prosecutor as a sign of how smart the extortionists have been. Anyone who has not been found as a criminal becomes more difficult to condemn.
The trial begins in mid-May. 15 days have been set aside for negotiations, but no one knows if that is enough.
Or as the prosecution says:
“The objective is comprehensive and difficult to understand, making it difficult to estimate trading time.”
