OneCoin Investigation in Sweden Is Closed
SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

The Swedish police has finalized and closed all investigations against the 
OneCoin company. In addition, on May 2nd, 2019, the Swedish Gaming Authority 
(Spelinspektionen) has confirmed to the company's lawyers that there are no 
ongoing procedures, relating to the allegations against OneCoin. Neither of the 
two authorities have found evidence of any bad practices whatsoever.

A couple of years ago, claims about OneCoin have come to the attention of 
Swedish authorities which they have found worthy of investigation. In addition 
to that OneCoin activities were reported to the police by the Swedish Gaming 
Authority with the argument that those activities were in breach of the Swedish 
Gaming law. Shortly after, this was reported on the news, and then referenced 
further in many outlets on- and offline, giving those claims media resonance 
for months – especially on the Old Continent.

These allegations have now been put to the test and have been found 
unwarranted. After the Swedish police conducted a thorough investigation 
following the allegations of the Gaming Authority, they came to the conclusion 
that no charges of wrong-doing could be proved, and, as a result, the 
investigation was closed - twice, on February 6th, 2017 and on January 16th, 
2018. 

"In a Scandinavian country that has ensured a high level of consumer protection 
and which serves as an example of how the government looks after its citizens, 
the OneCoin concept has been a subject to the most rigorous test of legality 
and has passed it", the OneCoin company shared. "We are looking forward to a 
similar future outcome in other EU countries as well due to the fact that the 
Swedish conclusion was taken by an EU institution, based on the EU legislation. 
Our hopes are that the Swedish decision will be taken into consideration for 
analogical cases, reviewed by other EU institutions."

The company states further: "We sure hope the fact that all allegations against 
OneCoin in Sweden have dropped serves as an example to the public that there 
are many rumors, circulating online, and they should definitely be disregarded."
