12 foreign people who worked at the battery factory in Skellefteå did not have work permits. Now a person who had personnel responsibility at Northvolt is being prosecuted.
The Swedish Prosecution Authority wants Northvolt to pay a fee of SEK 618,000 for violating the Aliens Act. The accused person and Northvolt deny any wrongdoing. The company says it has worked with authorities to keep rogue actors away from the construction site, and participated actively in the investigation into the matter.
