Attendo has filed a lawsuit against Västerås municipality demanding compensation of 24.7 million kronor. Västerås municipality terminated its cooperation with Attendo one year ago. The termination affected about 900 customers who needed to find new care providers and 600 employees who lost their jobs. Västerås municipality terminated the contract because it found systematic fraud with time registration and filed a police report against Attendo. However, the police investigation against Attendo has been closed. Attendo presented its own investigation last summer showing that no errors were committed. Attendo claims the contract was terminated on incorrect grounds, causing reputational and financial damage. The specific incorrect grounds alleged by Attendo and the current status of the lawsuit have not been disclosed.
In a separate legal matter, Östersunds FK has filed a lawsuit against a former player demanding 205,000 kronor. The player owes the club 205,000 kronor for unpaid invoices over several years. The player and Östersund had an agreement where he could use a club apartment and get meals from a local restaurant in exchange for deductions from his salary. When the player was injured and went on sick leave, he no longer received a salary, so the club invoiced him instead. The player continued to use the apartment, electricity, and meals while injured. The agreement was verbal. Östersunds FK believes the player accepted the agreement because he never disputed it while deductions were made from his salary. The identity of the former player and his response to the allegations remain unknown.
Östersund has had financial problems in recent years. Östersund does not want to comment on the case at present.
In another lawsuit, Eslövs Bostads AB has filed a lawsuit against construction company Pemasund demanding nearly one million kronor in compensation for lost grants in a project.

The deal was worth 24.4 million kronor according to 2018 information. The specific lost grants claimed by Eslövs Bostads AB have not been detailed.
