Court case
[edit]On 22 November 2011, Troms Kraft announced that discrepancies had been discovered in the accounts of the subsidiary Kraft & Kultur in Sweden of between 1.2 and 1.8 billion Swedish kronor. The case is being investigated by the Swedish Economic Crime Authority (Økokrim) and the former leader of Kraft & Kultur was remanded in custody. In May 2012, an auditor's report concluded that the company's revenues had been inflated by approx. NOK 1.5 billion by means of accounting manipulation.[3]
In September 2013, an investigation report was presented which had taken two years to prepare, which concluded that the loss could have been avoided.
