All are sentenced to imprisonment for gross or extremely gross drug offenses, ranging from three to seven years. Five of them are also expelled from Sweden with a re-entry ban of ten or fifteen years, respectively.

In December 2023, the Customs Service discovered large quantities of amphetamine and cannabis in several postal shipments. After a man was seen picking up two shipments, he was arrested outside an apartment on Gärdet. Subsequently, raids were conducted on apartments in Ursvik, Skärholmen, Bromma, and Rissne, where large quantities of narcotics were found.

Several of the apartments were used for packaging narcotics that were sent further by post to internet buyers around Sweden.
