I don't get it... It's a financial crime but there's a victim's fee? or is that another case?

Nja maybe he should re join Stratovarius. I know it's hard times to all of us, but still, I thought he is ok economically

Written by Callisto on 19.11.2023 at 15:31 This is a thing in Sweden as well. At least here, if there is prison as a possible sentence for your crime, you must pay around €100 to this fund on top of your other punishment. The money doesn't go to any particular person but to an organisation working for better situations for victims of crimes.
