A large fraud in Värnamo municipality has been unraveled and left around 40 people with debts of hundreds of thousands of kroner, despite the fact that a man in his 30s was sentenced to pay back around 24 million kroner.
– Often a fraudster does not have the money to pay or at least the money cannot be found. And it is the convict who is responsible for paying back the money in those cases, says Robert Attesjö, who is a lawyer at Amber law firm in Jönköping.
He says that he has often experienced that convicts cannot pay back money and that it affects the affected severely, perhaps for life.
But for people who have been victims of a certain type of fraud, the chances of getting their money back have increased following a Supreme Court ruling this summer. In the clip above, Robert Attesjö explains what applies.
