  • Attendo sues Västerås municipality for 24.7 million kronor after contract termination over fraud allegations.
  • Östersunds FK sues former player for 205,000 kronor over unpaid invoices from injury period.
  • Eslövs Bostads AB sues Pemasund for nearly one million kronor over lost grants in apartment project.

7 million kronor, according to official sources. The municipality terminated its cooperation with Attendo one year ago, citing systematic fraud with time registration and filing a police report against the company. However, the police investigation against Attendo has been closed, and Attendo presented its own investigation in the summer showing that no errors were committed, according to official sources.

The termination affected about 900 customers who needed to find new care providers and 600 employees who lost their jobs, as per official sources. Attendo claims the contract was terminated on incorrect grounds, causing reputational and financial damage, though the specific evidence for the alleged fraud and the legal grounds in the lawsuit remain unclear. In a separate legal dispute, Östersunds FK has filed a lawsuit against a former player demanding 205,000 kronor for unpaid invoices over several years.

The player and Östersunds FK had a verbal agreement where the player could use a club apartment and receive meals 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, while he continued to use the apartment, electricity, and meals. Östersunds FK claims the player accepted the agreement by not disputing it while deductions were made from his salary.

According to major media reports, Östersunds FK does not want to comment on the case at present and has had financial problems in recent years, but the identity of the player and his response are unknown. Additionally, Eslövs Bostads AB has filed a lawsuit against the construction company Pemasund demanding nearly one million kronor in compensation for lost grants in a project, according to major media reports. 4 million kronor according to 2018 data.

The details of the lost grants and the current status of the court proceedings are not specified.
