It was at 22.40 on Monday evening that the ferry added at Umeå harbor. Customs personnel checked passengers and discovered that two men had large amounts of cash.
– That made the staff suspicious. Where does the money come from and what will they be used for, says Elin Andersson, police spokesperson in the Nord region.
The men were arrested on suspicion of money laundering and were later arrested by prosecutors.
How much money is it about?
– It’s Inger I can say at the moment, but it’s about more money than you usually carry around in your pocket normally, says Andersson.
