NORRKOPING, Sweden - A Swedish woman is facing forgery and
fraud charges for borrowing $62,000 in her best friend's
name and using it to travel to Thailand for breast implants.
The indictment against the Norrkoping woman says she trick-
ed her friend into revealing her bank information with a
story claiming she needed to deposit money and hide it
from enforcement agencies, Swedish news agency TT reported
Thursday. However, the woman instead used the bank inform-
ation to borrow $62,000 in her friend's name and used the
money for private debts, several trips to Thailand and
breast augmentation surgery while in the country. The
woman also allegedly changed her friend's address with
her bank and defrauded her of another $10,000 by using the
other woman's credit cards. The suspect told authorities
she planned to pay the money back at some point in the
future.
