McDonald mangers in Sweden accused of selling work permits

Sunday, 02 December 2012
Jobs are scarce in Sweden and the immigration system is getting tighter but there are ways to go around that with money and with the right company and the right people.

Evidence of this was exposed in fast food company, McDonalds where people pay up to Skr100,000 to get a job which will then lead them to obtaining permanent residency and subsequently, in the future, citizenship.

According to the tabloid newspaper, Express, two managers at McDonalds with the power to hire and fire, have been found to have employed bogus workers who paid them Skr100,000 so that they could get a job that meet the Swedish government's requirement for employment that could lead to permanent residence.

"It has come to our attention that there may have been criminal activity at one of the restaurants in the Stockholm area. We are looking very seriously at this and have made a police report on 5 November" said Håkan Ström, acting Press Officer at Swedish McDonald, according to Expressen.

The two suspect managers have been suspended from their jobs in their current restaurants and when Expressen contacted one of the suspects managers, he denies the allegations.

One of the employees according to Expressen had to transfer between Skr3 000 and Skr11 000 of their salary each month to one of the managers or to a member of family to the manager's bank account.

Another McDonald's employee, according to Expressen's sources, sold everything he owned in his home and took large loans to get the money that would give him the opportunity to come to Sweden and get the job at McDonalds.

McDonald's management has also, through bank statements from affected employees, noted that large sums have been paid from their accounts to managers or people close to them in connection with payroll.

Several of the men after they came to Sweden have been living together in a suburban apartments the managers are reported to have organised, whereas another was living with one of the suspects manager's family in a house in a wealthy suburb area of Stockholm.
