Are these allegations true? If so, I don't think this man deserves sympathies. The punishment may be too harsh in my opinion for these type of crimes, but they are crimes nonetheless.

What does it mean to illegally transfer money? Is this a euphemism for stealing?

The indictment can be found here: http://www.aklagare.se/PageFiles/10239/AM_52124_12.pdf (Swedish. Save as, appears to be broken when viewed in browser)

I'm from Sweden and I'm very sad to say that I don't consider Sweden to fulfil all the requirements for rule of law and legal security.
Even if he is acquitted from the crimes in a trial he will have spent a few months arrested and we don't have a bail system here in Sweden.

They tried (and succeeded in one case) to transfer money between accounts, without authorization so illegally transferring money seems to be the correct wording?
Stealing does tend to be associated with physical theft?
