After a tax raid against Djurgarden IF, the authoritiees suspected three players for fraud. Economic Crimes Bureau has launched a preliminary investigation and the players Daniel Sjolund, Kebbe Ceesay and Johan Oremo could face large amounts in penalty tax. Prosecutor Gunnar Unger at the Economic Crimes Bureau in Stockholm has decided to launch a criminal investigation of tax offenses against the three players who are suspected of having submitted false information and withheld about 5.5 million Swedish kroner.

The reason is that the Tax Agency believes that the fees of agents and insurance policies should be counted as wages, and underestimated thereafter.
