A Swedish woman named Annétthe Zettergren, 58, who is suspected of fraud is hiding in Thailand. The Swedish paper Expressen published a video and photos of the woman lounging by the pool in Pattya. In Sweden she was a politician but last year she was charged with having stolen almost four million SEK from the taxpayers.

The Swedish government wish to have her extradited in order to pursue charges but according to Michael Målqvist from the Justice Department this may not be a swift deal.

“In some cases it can take more than a year from the time of the request to the actual extradition. There are no existing agreements of extradition between Sweden and Thailand. However, this does not prohibit working with states where there are no agreements. It is simply a system of helping each other out,” he says.

The district prosecutor, Barbro Brännlund, made a request to the state attorneys office in order to have Annétthe Zettergren extradited to Sweden, as she is suspected of looting almost four million SEK from the county council.

The time of processing depends on the many steps to be passed. First, the Justice Department has to process the request, then it is send to the Swedish embassy in Thailand and then on to the Foreign Ministry of Thailand. Barbro Brännlund expects the initial processing by the Swedish Justice Department will take a week.

Throw her fat ass in a Thai prison for the year or so the extradition request takes and see how long it takes her to waive any objection to being sent back to Sweeden.

4 million SEK - 393,000 GBP, $620,000 USD, sounds better as 18.5 million baht.

Not huge in terms of international level tax fraud I'd have thought, neither is it enough to warrant extradition proceedings? Hard to see Thailand rushing the paperwork for this one.

I think he's talking to the 45kilo Thai that is behind and being blocked from view by the whale.

If she is hiding she would have to find a BIIIG tree to hide behind.

this is a serious case of fraud, the amount may not be staggering but she was in a position of public trust

**ossierob** · 09-02-2013, 06:45 PM

You are surely right, with this publicity her stolen money won't last as long as she thinks
