Economic Crimes Bureau investigation into suspected accounting fraud and serious tax due in parallel to the Security Police investigation and led by prosecutors Ingela Ohlén.

– I can not say more than what is in the text, says Fredrik Milder, press secretary of the Security Service.
In the afternoon came the arrest petitions against three of the five arrestees. In these no mention of terrorism financing, without serious tax and gross accounting fraud in a cleaning company based in a Stockholm suburb. The company has previously been audited by the Tax since it appears that the company improperly paid rotersättningar for over 162 000.
Agneta Hilding Qvarnström explains why she chose to proceed with an investigation:
– EBM has a major investigation going on and I and many others have read in the newspapers that there would be terrorist financing. Then I have decided that we will look into it and thus also launched a preliminary investigation. To get anywhere in a possible investigation into the suspected crime occurs it best and easiest way within the framework of a criminal investigation, so that’s the reason for it. So I do not really have more to say.
So it is you yourself who initiated because of media data?
– I have launched a preliminary investigation today Yes. Today, it has been decided.
Have there been on your own accord because of media data?
– I read about it in the newspapers and so and so, we got us a little information to the part of EBM. In order to investigate something, one must have a preliminary investigation and therefore I have initiated preliminary investigation for us to see what this could be for anything.
Is there anything based on the information you received from EBM to suggest that it concerns the financing of terrorism?
– I do not comment anything. Moreover, we have not been able to take as many steps. The preliminary investigation has been launched today and now we will only investigate.
I just have to clarify if there was anything suspicious initially from EBM or Security Service page from scratch, or if the foundation came from your own initiative?
– I do not know anything about anything. I read in the papers and was called by journalists who noted that the media gave information on terrorist financing. Since it has been crackdown. EBM has made crackdown and arrested persons. We have received some information to share. To sort out and poke in and find out what applies, I have launched a preliminary investigation.
If I understand you correctly, it is based on media data that you deem it worth investigate?
– We have also taken the data to part from EBM.
Is there anything from the EBM which strengthens the view you received via the media?
– It says I obviously do not says Agneta Hilding Qvarnström.
