Swedish woman charged over role in major cocaine smuggling case in Denmark

A woman in her 30s is being charged with aiding and abetting a particularly serious drug crime after a large cocaine seizure on a farm in Denmark last year.

The case began when police in Denmark found 77 kilos of cocaine during a raid on a farm last summer. The case was decided in a Danish court but was transferred to Sweden, as a Swedish woman is suspected of being an accomplice.

In addition to aiding and abetting a particularly serious drug crime, the woman is also charged with, among other things, serious money laundering, the Prosecution Authority writes in a press release.

Through various schemes, the woman is said to have laundered large sums of money, and according to State Prosecutor Anna Arnell, she has "been an enabler of serious organised drug crime."
