Tax Controversy
Swedish tax authorities decided in December 2009 to raise Wei Wei's tax in Sweden with more than 100 million Swedish kronor (approximately 10 million euro) for incomes in China during the years of 2003-2008. Swedish tax authoritie's grounds for the decision in December 2009 was rejected by Swedish court (Länsrätten) in June 2009 due to the lack of concrete facts. The new decision has been appealed by Wei Wei to the Swedish court (Förvaltningsrätten).
