Couple who ran Swedish eco-resort say 158 barrels of human waste left behind was ‘very normal’ | Sweden

Denmarkian couple to escape the “Forest Resort” in Sweden to Guatemala and left behind large tax debts and 158 barrels of human waste She retracted criticism and claimed that their treatment with compost toilets was “very normal”.

Fleming Hansen and Mit Helbek, both of them are cupping, allegedly friendly, standin, in Halland, southern Sweden, last year. They were debtors with large sums of Swedish and Danish tax authorities. They have since created work in Guatemala.

The story was revealed behind their disappearance and deserted human waste this week after the investigation conducted by Politikeen and Dagens Nyheter. She also found that the couple allowed sewage to run to the forest and claimed that the animals had died as a result of leaving them outside and that others had been abandoned.

Local authorities have described that Hansen and Hilbeck’s actions as a “environmental crime”. However, on Thursday, the couple claimed that they were acting legally.

And they commented on the barrels that left behind from the toxic toilets, they said in a post on social media: “For people in rural areas Sweden It is very normal. “

They added: “It is also a very important part of the permanent agriculture principles that you deal with with your shit.”

They said that the new owner of the property is aware of the barrels and can be used in compost. “Half is ready to use this spring, the other half is ready in one year, following the guidance of Swedish law.”

But Daniel Helsing, head of construction and environment in the local council, Hiltty Council, said that the spouses do not follow the requirements for compost.

“There are a number of requirements that you must follow and did not do it,” he said. “Ordinary practice, if you do not have a water cabinet solution, is that you have a collection service for your barrels provided by local authorities in every province in Sweden mainly. This will be the most common solution to deal with toilet waste if you do not use water tanks.”

He said that the toilet waste can be carried out, but it must be done according to the instructions of the local authority. “You will have to report that you will make the toilet waste and give us the local authority an opportunity to determine the rules and guidance on how to do this.”

The Swedish Tourist Association said it is not familiar with the methods used in STEDSANS. “I haven’t heard anything like that,” said a spokesman.

Hansen and Hillbek accused the journalists behind the investigation of lying and causing “the largest storm (craftsman!) In our lives.

They added: “The article claims that we harm the local environment through our procedures in our agricultural resort and that we left the animals to die. All these claims and many others are wrong.”

He accused the local authorities of being cowards, Hansen and Hilbeck said that Hillti’s Council was familiar with their toilets. The couple said, as they showed toilets and procedures for representatives of the authority “several times.” “Either the municipality lies, or did not accomplish the work that we paid for them, which is to ensure that all the rules are followed.”

The Hitti Council said that they had not paid their salaries to deal with waste and that they were establishing whether the police would be informed.

Hansen and Hillbek said that their company had been bankrupt and that they had tax debts in Denmark That was “doubled ten times” due to attention and fees over a decade. They said that to prevent growth debts, they would have to pay Danish tax authorities-which they accused of being “cold-heart” and “narcissistic”-more than 50,000 DKK per month (5800 pounds), which they suggest is unable to do so.

Hansen previously said they owe Swedish Tax Agency “more than 7 million” (more than 550,000 pounds).

They said that among the reasons they prompted Guatemala, “giving our family a second chance.” They added: “If you see us as a badger to take this option, we are sorry.”
