This is the story of what has been called the worst hijacking of a tenant-owner association in Sweden. Brf Ida in Malmö, one of Sweden’s largest tenant-owner associations, had a good reputation and a good economy.
But in the autumn of 2017, it is discovered that millions are flowing out of the association. The association’s chairman has allied himself with eco-criminals, hijacked the association and defrauded a quarter of a billion kronor.
The anxiety and panic spread in the association. The apartments are collapsing in value and there is an imminent risk that the association will go bankrupt, which would mean financial disaster for the residents.
But this is also a story about an association that, against all odds, manages to get up and find its way back – with the help of a hard pli on the economy and a strong community.
