According to the indictment, the Swedes have held leading positions in an international network. The gang has smuggled large amounts of hashish into Europe and then laundered the proceeds of crime through, among other things, real estate and expensive watches.

One of the Swedes was sentenced to nine years in prison and a fine of 4.9 million euros, Spanish media reports.

"I will appeal," the Swede writes in a comment to Expressen.

Another Swede was sentenced to 16 years in prison for drug trafficking and money laundering. He will also have to pay a fine of 2.3 million euros, equivalent to just over 25 million kronor.
