“The seizure is unusually large,” says Robin Sjåstad, group leader at the Swedish Customs' Criminal Division South, in a press release.
The defendants state that they did not know that four of the 19 pallets in the truck contained narcotics, but the prosecutor believes that this is refuted by what they wrote in chats.
The price of such tablets varies greatly on the black market, but according to Customs, the estimated value of the part of the cargo that contained the opioid tramadol is 62.5 million kronor. In addition, an anti-anxiety drug was smuggled, which is worth several million kronor to users.
