Swedish Customs have charged a 37-year-old man with aggravated drug smuggling after officers found 209.9 kg of cannabis resin in a truck at the Öresund Bridge in Malmö.[1] The agency announced the charge on 22 May 2026 and said the trial at Malmö District Court would start on 1 June.[1] If convicted, Customs said, he risks five to six years in prison and expulsion.[1]
On 12 February an inspector checked a Slovenian-registered truck and trailer.[1] The driver answered questions in a way the inspector found evasive, and the seal number on the trailer did not match the freight papers.[1] A closer search found 209.9 kg of cannabis resin among the legal goods.[1] Customs estimate the street value at about 25 million kronor.[1]
Ingrid Lamberth, of Customs’ criminal department in the south, said investigators used the driver’s phone to obtain surveillance film from a place in the Netherlands.[1] The film, she said, showed him stopping and taking boxes from another person.[1] The man, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina, told investigators he met people he did not know because his contractor told him to, took the boxes, and mixed them with the legal cargo.[1] He said he did it because he needed money.[1] Trailer published the same account on 27 May.[2]
