When customs examined the container from Canada, it was discovered that it contained approximately 500 kilograms of cannabis. Later, a similar smuggling that happened before is discovered.
Six people are now being sentenced for their involvement in particularly serious drug smuggling and particularly serious drug crime, the Gothenburg district court announced in a press release.
The mess was discovered when a container arrived at the Port of Gothenburg in February this year.
Customs guarded the container and let it proceed to its final destination in Norrköping. Later, six people could be arrested, suspected of importing and handling the narcotics. In addition, evidence of a similar smuggling operation was found last October.
Those involved are now sentenced to prison terms ranging from four years and ten months to nine years.
