- Two directors have been remanded in custody in connection with a fraud case involving millions of kroner related to residential care homes.
- The men are accused of using company funds for various invoices unrelated to the homes' operations and providing incorrect information about taxes and VAT.
- The alleged fraud primarily occurred between 2023 and 2025.
Two directors were taken into custody early Friday morning after several hours of a preliminary hearing at Venstre Fængsel. Both men pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
The individuals are accused of misappropriating company funds by creating false invoices that had no connection to the operations of the residential care homes they managed. Furthermore, they are charged with providing inaccurate information regarding tax and VAT matters.
According to the indictment, the majority of the alleged financial misconduct took place between the years 2023 and 2025. The case involves a significant sum, with initial reports suggesting millions of kroner in fraudulent transactions.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the full extent of the alleged fraud and the roles of the two directors. The outcome of the preliminary hearing means they will remain in custody while the investigation proceeds.
