The lawsuit has been submitted to Värmland District Court.

According to prosecutor Kristina Persson, three men from Central Sweden must have paid to handle large amounts of construction waste.

In Örebro County, this is a man in his 50s who is also said to have appeared in other environmental crime cases.

- My assessment is that he and the man in his 35s were the ones who were the driving force.

The third person has collected and left waste, says Kristina Persson, chamber prosecutor at the National Unit for Environmental and Work Environment Objectives.

Buried

According to the indictment, just over 560 tonnes of waste will be temporarily stored in Kumla and Örebro, among other places.

An additional 30 tonnes must have been picked up from Eskilstuna.

During the autumn of 2016, parts of the waste must have been transported to a location in Karlstad municipality, where it was buried, which led to emissions of lead and dioxins, among other things.

- The police make a house search on September 15 and then discover dug holes with waste in. After that there will be a break in the drives to the site, but my assessment is that waste is still handled but then redirected to other places in the country that we have not found, says Persson.

False invoices

The resident of Örebro and the man in his 35s are also charged with a serious money laundering offense.

- The invoices for the runs have gone in two stages.

There we have found untrue invoices and the sum of these amounts to SEK 472,659, hence the charge of aggravated money laundering.

Link to other environmental issues

The men also appear in the investigation into illegal waste management that took place in central Sweden with the NMT Group and the company Think Pink.

- There is nothing to indicate any connection to those companies other than the people, says Kristina Persson.

The man in his 50s has also been involved in the so-called battery scandal, where large amounts of battery waste have been illegally buried in various places in central Sweden.
