A remand hearing for the men, who are 31 and 23 years old, was held at Malmö District Court on Wednesday afternoon. Neither of the men is a Swedish citizen.

Prosecutor Hans Harding out that more people may be implicated.

At the remand hearing, the district court decided on my request for a gag order, so right now I can't say much more.

Over 200 kilograms of cocaine were found by the police by chance in a Malmö apartment after a burglary alarm from the public.

The seizure has been linked to an incident at Helsingborg Harbour, where a banana wholesaler's container was illegally checked out and picked up by a foreign truck driver shortly after unloading.

The container was returned the next day, with the seal broken. In the cargo space, there was a large empty space that, according to the Prosecution Authority, "testified that something had been taken out of the container".
