A man in his 60s has been charged at Mora District Court for defrauding six men, banks and Försäkringskassan of approximately 2.5 million kronor between 2016 and 2022.
According to the indictment, the man posed as a woman seeking a romantic relationship and a move to Sweden. He created BankID accounts in the victims' names to take out loans and transfer money to accounts in Thailand.
One victim approved transfers on four occasions and lost more than one million kronor. The offences are alleged to have taken place in several locations, including Mora, Offerdal in Krokoms Municipality and Umeå.
The charges include gross fraud, illegal identity use, document forgery and gross benefit fraud. The man denies the offences.
