Seven people are convicted of insider trading

It's the last month that seven men between the ages of 18 and 31 have been charged with a series of eight rude robberies that occurred in Gekås Ullared last summer.

On one occasion, the goods should have been worth 34,000 crowns. Among the goods, there was a high-pressure laundry for 2,000 SEK. However, it is not clear what is the total value when the prosecutor has not been able to specify the amounts involved.

Two of the prosecutors were working at the time of the crime in Gekås and sat in the boxes and left the goods unpaid when their kumpans filled the carts, according to the prosecutor who argued the thesis that it was a job d & # 39; insider.

According to the lawsuit, all people deny the crimes.

Judged for a good deal in Gekås

The verdict has now fallen in the Varberg District Court. The seven people are repeatedly sentenced for theft or robbery.

The sentence will remain on suspended sentences and daily fines for all but one who is sentenced for protection.

The court argues that the two people who worked for the company "abused a position of trust" and that the theft was of a particularly dangerous nature.

"I am not satisfied with the sentence but satisfied with the sentence, the lawyer Anders Roy summarizes that he defends one of the men who were employed and who is now found guilty of robbery."

The proof consisted mainly of surveillance films, still images and extracts of cash registers.

But the district court finds that "there is no evidence that some people have participated in some robberies. They were released for theft several times.

Right: Low Evidence

"According to the district court, the investigation has some shortcomings. One of the drawbacks is that the times defined by the surveillance films and the times specified by the cash registers are not compared with the real time. As the cash register extracts refer to a time that is a good margin before and after the specified time on the still images of the surveillance films, it is crucial for the evaluation.. ", Writes the district court.

The law also means, unlike the prosecutor, that many of the flights must be described as normal and non-rude flight.

Gekås CEO Boris Lennerhov has already said the following about flights:

"It's really sad to face crime when employees are involved in the business, and in this case, they seem to have worked with us to steal goods.

As previously reported by GT, Gekås plans to install 82 new surveillance cameras to combat theft in the department store. However, the union believes that the measure constitutes an attack on the integrity of the staff, who will then be subject to increased supervision.
