When police hit the man's home last year, 350 grams of cocaine, 140 grams of cannabis and hundreds of tramadol tablets were found. Uppsalabon acknowledged the crime and told him to have someone else keep the drug at home.
The man was sentenced to three years in prison.
When the man was sentenced to one year of the sentence, he filed an application for mercy with the government. In the application, the man's lawyer writes that the client is incurably ill with cancer, with the forecast that he will die within a year.
"He has children who want to be able to spend time with him in the last weeks or months he is alive," the application states.
The government has now - two months after the application - met the man and turned the penalty into surveillance with surveillance.
