Bedrägligt is a Swedish word that translates to deceitful, fraudulent, or treacherous in English. It describes actions or intentions that are designed to mislead or betray someone. The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from minor deceptions to serious criminal offenses.

In a legal context, bedrägligt is often used in relation to fraud. For example, "bedrägligt förfarande" refers to fraudulent conduct, which could involve misrepresentation, deception, or concealment of facts to gain an unfair advantage or cause harm to another party. This can include financial scams, identity theft, or any act intended to cheat someone out of their money or property.

Beyond legal implications, bedrägligt can also describe interpersonal betrayal. A friend who spreads rumors or deliberately undermines another's reputation might be described as acting bedrägligt. Similarly, a business partner who secretly works against the company's interests could be accused of bedrägligt behavior. The core concept is a violation of trust through dishonest means. The word carries a strong negative connotation, implying a deliberate and malicious intent to deceive.
