Last year, the Swedish Customs seized a truck in the port of Trelleborg when they found 309 kilos of cannabis resin during an inspection of the truck.

When the encrypted chat service Encrochat was hacked by the police this year, the truck could be connected to six men, one of whom was designated as the leader of the Södertälje network.

The trial against the men began on 14 April 2021 in Södertälje District Court, and today the verdict was handed down.

All involved are convicted of, among other things, aggravated drug smuggling.
