Two men are being prosecuted for organizing the smuggling of 43 kilos of cocaine into Sweden in the spring of 2020. The prosecutor believes it is a particularly serious narcotics offense and particularly serious narcotics smuggling, but the two men deny it.

In the indictment, the prosecutor claims that the crime is part of organized drug trafficking and that the plan was to repackage the cocaine and distribute it to multiple sellers, reports P4 Malmöhus.

One of the men is also suspected of serious money laundering, as he allegedly received 2.9 million kronor in bitcoins and forwarded them. The money is said to have come from drug trafficking, according to the indictment.
