A 41-year-old woman in Norrköping has been indicted on charges of forgery and fraud after borrowing about 450,000 kronor ($62,000) in her best friend's name, of which she spent 50,000 kronor on breast surgery in Thailand. The accused has admitted to the crimes.
The woman also repaid private debts, including those from failed businesses overseas, with the funds, newspapers in Norrköping reported on Thursday. In addition, the woman travelled to Thailand several times and underwent a breast operation.
The woman tricked her friend into believing that she needed to use her bank account in order to deposit money that she wanted to hide from the enforcement agency. The friend withdrew 350,000 kronor ($48,200) from the deposited funds, unaware that the money was actually borrowed under her name.
The accused also changed her friend's address so that she would not receive mail from lenders. She then defrauded her friend of another 100,000 kronor ($14,000), including payments made using her credit card.
The woman, who has been on sick leave and has a poor credit history, said she urgently needed money for her business overseas and that she intended to repay the funds at some point, Norrköping's Folkbladet reported.
We need to see a picture of the “goods” before we can judge the “size” of the crime.
In the 1970’s, when I grew up here in Sweden, we boasted an army that could stand up to the threats of the Soviet Union (without any aid from the NATO), a standard of living that rivalled Switzerland, USA and even the glamour of the French Riviera. But those days are since longe gone. Perhaps not in terms of state of the art weaponry, expensive homes and cars, but definitely in the department of classy female role models.
Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman and Anita Ekberg, where did you go?
At least there is Polish/Swedish Izabella Scorupco;

Norrköping?
We need pictures in order to decide guilt or innocence.
Thailand?!?

Can one reposses a boob job?
Why not. Previously a government travel card holder used his government issue IMPACT card to pay for his waitress girlfriends breast enhancements.
Must be a close friend.
This story is worthless without pictures. What does a $50K pair of breasts look like. Why would you choose to have the surgery in Thailand? Shoosh. An unending series of poor choices.
Thailand as some of the best (and cheapst) cosmetic surgery in the world.
You can go there for vacation (time to heal) AND surgery, for less than the cost of just the surgery in USA.
If you’re hinting around that you want me to give back my Swedish Mauser, only when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Michelle Lyn Taylor, 34, was convicted of lewdness with a minor under 14 in November after a week-long trial in Elko County, Nev., District Judge Mike Memeo’s courtroom.
With the conviction, Taylor faced a mandatory life sentence, and Memeo set parole eligibility after 10 years, the minimum sentence. If released on parole she must register as a sex offender and will be under lifetime supervision.

I wonder if they’re still breast . . . er, best buddies?
Dang! You beat me to it!...........;^)
How do you say Maury Povich in Swedish?
her friend did it to help her hide money from the government. Hence Obama’s need to access your accounts without your permission.

She was neither calm "nor coping" very well, when charged.

She was flat out of money.
