According to the prosecutor, the drug racket involves more than 2.5 tons of cocaine, and the suspected crimes are believed to have taken place between 2020 and 2021 in Spain and in international waters - in Suriname, Colombia, Costa Rica and Portugal.

Falk was sentenced last year to four years and ten months in prison for involvement in a high-profile extortion racket against financier Joachim Kuylenstierna, the former CEO of listed investment company Fastator.

In 2010, he was identified as the main suspect in one of Sweden's largest drug cases. The case, known as "Operation Playa", ended in an acquittal for Jonas Falk in the Court of Appeal. For his long time in custody - 3.5 years - he was awarded damages of 3.6 million kronor.

Now 53-year-old Jonas Falk has previously been convicted of several bank robberies and other crimes.
