Swedish Swindler Arrested In Thailand

A 54-year-old man from Landskrona has been arrested in Thailand suspected of serious
economic crimes.
He has been internationally wanted since March this year.
    The man is the owner and partner in several companies in Sweden. But it
is at contractor in Helsinborg the man is suspected of economic crimes,
according to the economic crime authorities in Helsingborg.

    The company was registered as late as February 2006.
    In December 2007, the man suddenly disappeared from Sweden and left his activities
behind him. In addition, he also left behind large tax liabilities and
non-existent accounts, writes Expressen.
    The man is suspected to have concealed about five million kronor from taxation.

    In connection with his arrest, in his absence in March 2008 his Swedish
passport was cancelled. That made it possible for the Thai authorities to
arrest him in Pattaya, where he had a bar. The man has a debt of unpaid taxes of
nearly 300 000 kronor.
