The goal, according to the prosecutor, was to get almost one and a half million kroner in salary compensation for 26 fictitious employees in the companies.
They were discovered by the Danish Business Authority before any winnings were paid out. This happened, among other things, because fake social security numbers had been used on the applications for salary compensation.
The case against the three begins on Tuesday at the Court in Glostrup.
Senior plaintiff Sannie Pilebo informs Ritzau that all three are accused of having applied for salary compensation, even though the two companies they applied for were not entitled to it.
They were not because there were no actual employment conditions.
The total amount was to be 1,495,100 kroner according to the indictment.
An accountant and another man affiliated with the Bandidos have confessed in the case and have been convicted.
Auditor Morten Stefan Nyenstad has acknowledged his role in court. Among other things, he should have made fake payslips for the employees. He has been sentenced to four years in prison and a fine of one million.
In early May, 28-year-old André Munch, who is affiliated with the Bandidos, also confessed to his role in the case. He received two and a half years in prison.
Economic crime based on the corona aid packages can carry up to four times harsher punishments than similar fraud.
Sannie Pilebo has previously called it “unusually cynical and selfish” to try to cheat with the help packages.
The trial continues on May 20, with prosecutors awaiting sentencing. But an extra day has been set aside for May 25th.
