TV profile and former preacher Runar Søgaard (54) was sentenced this summer to prison for tax fraud. He appealed all the way to the Swedish Supreme Court, but there the appeal was rejected. He must therefore serve one year and eight months in prison for tax evasion and illegal bookkeeping.
Swedish Aftonbladet writes that Søgaard will serve the sentence at the open institution Svartsjö in Ekerö municipality. This despite the fact that he had initially been assigned another institution.

“He wanted to be placed in Svartsjö to be close to his two young sons, for whom he has shared care. The family situation means a lot to him, as well as the children “, writes the Prison and Probation Service in its decision, according to the newspaper.
– It’s nice, my children are the most important thing in life. I have shared custody of my children, so this feels much better, says Søgaard himself to Aftonbladet.
He has an adult son with his ex-wife Carola Häggkvist. He also has two sons with his second ex-wife Jessica Søgaard.
