webfact Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Swedish woman wanted for fraud is hiding in Thailand BY ANDERS HOLM NIELSEN Expressen.se PATTAYA: -- A Swedish woman named Annétthe Zettergren, 58, who is suspected of fraud is hiding in Thailand. The Swedish paper Expressen published a video and photos of the woman lounging by the pool in Pattya. In Sweden she was a politician but last year she was charged with having stolen almost four million SEK from the taxpayers. The Swedish government wish to have her extradited in order to pursue charges but according to Michael Målqvist from the Justice Department this may not be a swift deal. newsjs “In some cases it can take more than a year from the time of the request to the actual extradition. There are no existing agreements of extradition between Sweden and Thailand. However, this does not prohibit working with states where there are no agreements. It is simply a system of helping each other out,” he says. The district prosecutor, Barbro Brännlund, made a request to the state attorneys office in order to have Annétthe Zettergren extradited to Sweden, as she is suspected of looting almost four million SEK from the county council. The time of processing depends on the many steps to be passed. First, the Justice Department has to process the request, then it is send to the Swedish embassy in Thailand and then on to the Foreign Ministry of Thailand. Barbro Brännlund expects the initial processing by the Swedish Justice Department will take a week.

jbrain Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Since it has been in the news now that a defrauding Swedish politician is hiding in Thailand, she may expect an offer from the current Thai government anytime soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think she did not give everything up in Sweden for that small amount, it is probably just the tip of the iceberg of her legal and ill gotten gains.

Buchholz Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A short cut to extradition, and has been done in many other cases by a number of countries, is being looked at by public prosecutors in Sweden. Cancel her passport. cancelled passport = being in Thailand illegally = deportation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Bound Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I still think there is more to this story but it would seem the Swedish govt is awfully quiet about it, I suspect the Swedish govt already knew where she was but did not want to persue her thus the people above reporting this story has gotten invovled to put pressure on the govt? Who knows what the Swedes are hiding . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So an arrest and deportation could be imminent. I have a hard time beleiving what that link says, the Swedish govt. could have traced her passport to Thailand quite easily and if some reporter could trace then some govt. employee that does that kind of thing for a living could have. Besides she failed to steal enough to make it worth it unless she just wanted 2 holidays, one in Thailand and the other in a Swedish jail. The Swedes will fly her back in business class no doubt.

chooka Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 By the looks of her, she is going to have a hard time keeping a low profile. not exactly what I expected a swedish woman in a bikini to look like. My mental picture was always more like this. Guess I will need a few more Changs before I hit on a bikini clad Swedish chic beside the pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
