We have been able to map out how the distribution in the network has looked and also how the drugs' path into Sweden has looked. But also climbed higher up in the hierarchy in this network and also been able to prosecute an organizer, says prosecutor Daniel Jonsson to the radio.

In the summer of 2023, the police received information that the network had a chat group with around 900 users on the encrypted messaging app Signal, whereupon the police initiated an infiltration of the group.

In April this year, the police's infiltrator caught an offer to buy three kilos of amphetamine, which led to several people being arrested.

We caught an offer and played a certain role. But mainly, the infiltration has been about identifying people, says Jonsson.

Next week, five of them will be brought to court, including for aggravated drug offenses. All of them deny the allegations.
