Liberal kandidat dømt for svart arbeid til moldovske bygningsarbeidere

Göran Lignell, en liberal kandidat til riksdagen, ble i 2021 dømt for skattekriminalitet knyttet til svarte lønninger utbetalt til moldovske bygningsarbeidere i Göteborg-området.

Virksomheten pågikk fra 2016 til 2018 gjennom to selskaper der Lignell var eier og administrerende direktør. Firmaene fløy inn rundt hundre arbeidere fra Moldova til baderomsrenoveringer, men mange manglet gyldig arbeidstillatelse.

Skatteetaten avdekket at 1,8 millioner kroner ble utbetalt som svart lønn via Lignells private konto. Han ble dømt til betinget fengsel og 120 timer samfunnstjeneste for hindring av skattekontroll og bokføringslovbrudd.

Kim Söderström, leder i Byggnads, kalte opplegget et eksempel på bygningsmafia og kritiserte Lignell for å stille til valg til riksdagen. Lignell har gitt sin forretningspartner skylden og uttalt at han havnet i en vanskelig situasjon mellom ulike lover.
