Two men were sentenced in Oslo District Court to 2 years and 7 months in prison and 1 year and 7 months in prison for their role in laundering NOK 10,9 million and NOK 6,5 million respectively.

The money came from fictitious invoices and undeclared work in the van and van industry. The perpetrators took care of for the legitimization of unregistered work by issuing fictitious invoices that did not come from the actual work performed. The money that flowed into the companies' accounts was mostly transferred to other fictitious companies or paid out in cash.

– This form of crime is serious because it harms businesses that want to operate legally. This type of crime also means that the ordinary consumer who pays for an apparently legally performed transport task. In this way, it also contributes to illegal work, says prosecutor Anne Line Grøstad in Økokrim.
Such crime can also lead to people performing transport tasks being exploited without receiving the remuneration they are entitled to. When employees have no registered wage income, they are also not entitled to any social benefits. This applies to such benefits such as accrued pension and NAV benefits.
On the other hand, there is also information about people who did not want payment for work performed not to be recorded as remuneration. They decided to do this so that they could continue to receive benefits such as unemployment benefits, unemployment benefit or sickness benefit.
The judgment is not final.
