The suspected activity is believed to have been ongoing for at least five years, 2018–2023, and generated revenue of just over 23 million kronor that the two men have not reported, according to the Prosecution Authority.
The medicines are said to have been mainly purchased from China and not controlled by authorities.
”The crime is particularly serious as it is both hazardous to society and a threat to life and health. It has involved large-scale money laundering with advanced arrangements that have relied on people agreeing to have their accounts used by criminals”, says prosecutor Maria Rensfelt in a press release.
Earlier this year, charges were brought against 36 people who are suspected of having acted as money launderers for the two men.
