Heavily armed police, dog patrols, and a helicopter struck against a company premises on the outskirts of Norrköping on Tuesday last week – and eight people were arrested and detained on suspicion of extremely serious drug offenses.
The 42 suspected packages that were seized later turned out to contain olive soap and dried mallow, reports SVT News East.
After three days, all were released and the preliminary investigation was dropped on Tuesday. No one is longer suspected.
This is a bizarre story. We suspect that the police's rapid tests indicated narcotics, but we were always certain that they had made a mistake, says lawyer David Messi, who represented one of the detainees, to the TV channel.
