A Hard Stance on Tax Evasion

The Swedish government is not taking a recent tax evasion case lightly. Some high-ranking officials at EPR Investments are under arrest in Sweden for tax evasion allegations related to an online casino site that EPR previously owned. Recently, the Swedish government announced investigations into several internet gaming sites that were located in Sweden. Specifically, the Swedish government sent questionnaires to several online casinos looking for detailed information on the exactly what branches of the business the companies operated in Sweden. Unfortunately for EPR, the Swedish government apparently found enough information to warrant arresting several of the key EPR officials in a tax evasion case.

The Swedish government is continuing to investigate the case against EPR Investments and is looking to clarify questions relating to the where the company based the majority of the online casino poker site operations, and even more significantly, the Swedish government is investigating where the EPR funneled the money from the sale of Multipoker.com to PartyGaming. PartyGaming purchased the online casinos poker site from EPR Investments nearly two years ago, and now, the Swedish government alleges that the company used a front in the British Virgin Islands to avoid paying taxes on the money and then funneled the funds from the sale into Swiss Bank accounts.

At this point, the Swedish investigation is continuing, and the allegations are just that – accusations. But the online casino information sites are heavily preoccupied with the current Swedish investigation, even Sveriges Radio is carrying in depth information as the Swedish government releases new reports.
