The bodyguard pleads guilty to the use of false documents.

Brukande av falsk urkund kan ge fängelsestraff. Men den 59-åriga kvinnan befaras inte fortsätta sin brottsliga bana och får därmed en villkorlig dom.

2020 March 9, “Villkorlig dom för kvinna som visade ”grekiskt” körkort för polisen [Suspended sentence for woman who showed a "Greek" driver's license to the police.]”, in Hallandsposten:

Using a false document can lead to imprisonment. However, the 59-year-old woman is not expected to continue her criminal path and is thus given a suspended sentence.
