On December 4, the courier, who works for a currency exchange company, arrived at terminal 5 at Arlanda Airport. According to the lawsuit, he was carrying a bag that three men were looking for. One of the men grabbed the courier with his arm while the other two men stood next to him. One of them tore his bag, where cash and gold for SEK 10,269,000 were stored.

The prosecutor believes that the three men committed the crime together and in agreement with another person who was driving the car in which they fled the crime scene.

Gross robbery and money laundering

The crime should, according to the prosecutor, be considered serious because it was of a particularly dangerous nature as it concerns a very large value and the act was preceded by significant planning.

In addition to the three men charged with aggravated robbery, two men are also charged with aiding and abetting robbery and one woman with aggravated money laundering.
