A total of eleven people are charged with involvement in the waste mess in the Think Pink case, which has been described as Sweden’s biggest environmental crime mess.
Five of them are charged with serious environmental crime.
– They are the ones who have been most active in this criminal activity, says Anders Gustafsson, head of the preliminary investigation, at a press conference.
The preliminary investigation into environmental crime is one of the largest investigations of its kind and concerns 21 different locations in 15 municipalities in Central Sweden.
– This is a waste company that has received large amounts of waste without having the ability to handle this waste, he says further.
The waste company was started in 2012 by two spouses and a few years later, in 2016, it changed its name to NMT Think Pink. The investigation began in 2020 regarding suspicions of serious environmental crimes and the woman and her then-husband were then detained for several weeks.
