Intrum Justitia; statement on outlook for operations in United Kingdom and
Ireland 

In connection with the Year End Report 2008 Intrum Justitia stated that the
Group's operations in the region were subject to a number of strategic measures
to improve profitability and that in the long run the UK and Ireland losses are
unacceptable.  

-	Our focus during Q1 has been on long term profitability in existing client
relationships in the region, says Lars Wollung, CEO and President of Intrum
Justitia and continues: our Purchased debt business in the UK is doing well and
we are considering strategies for addressing our CMS business.

On April 6 an unauthorized press release was disseminated by Intrum Justitia's
UK subsidiary, Intrum Justitia UK Ltd.  In the press release certain statements
were made that regrettably are incorrect. The actual facts are as follows:

1.	Intrum Justitia has no current plans to increase its UK workforce.
2.	Although 2008 was described in the press release as a successful year in the
region, profitability has in fact been far below expectations.

The circumstances surrounding the UK press release are currently under internal
investigation.
