Intellego Reports Former CEO to Economic Crime Authority Amidst Accounting Fraud Suspicion

Swedish IT company Intellego has formally reported its former CEO, Claes Lindahl, to the Economic Crime Authority (Ekobrottsmyndigheten) amid suspicions of serious accounting-related crimes during his tenure. The report, made public on January 12, 2026, follows revelations gathered from customer conversations and a forensic investigation by KPMG, highlighting possible misconduct in the company’s financial practices.

Jacob Laurin, Intellego's interim CEO, stated in a press release that the gathered information from these investigations deepened concerns about serious crimes linked to the company’s accounting. Given the gravity of the suspicions, the company's board felt compelled to notify the authorities immediately to ensure a thorough legal investigation.

Intellego is simultaneously addressing its corporate governance issues by arranging an extraordinary general meeting scheduled for February 23, 2026. This meeting aims to elect a new board of directors to steer the company through this turbulent period and reinforce governance.

These developments have stirred significant attention within the Swedish corporate sector, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency and accountability. By reporting the former CEO, Intellego signals its intent to confront any wrongdoing decisively and uphold investor and stakeholder trust.

According to interim CEO Jacob Laurin, "The information we have obtained through the forensic review and customer input has raised serious concerns, leaving us with a clear obligation to act and report these suspicions to the Economic Crime Authority."

The extraordinary general meeting planned will be crucial in determining Intellego’s future direction by appointing a new board capable of restoring stability and confidence in the company’s operations.
