Sweden Confiscates Record 1.4 Tons of Cocaine at Nynashamn Port

The massive drug bust marks one of the largest in the nation's history, with six arrests made and implications for broader European drug trafficking.

Swedish customs officials seized approximately 1.4 tons of cocaine last week, a haul described as one of the country's largest ever.
The drugs were discovered in a container at the Nynashamn port, located south of Stockholm, on April 18.
Six individuals have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the drug's transportation, indicating a coordinated effort.
Officials suggest that the seized cocaine was intended for distribution across the European market, with Sweden serving primarily as a transit point.
The seizure reflects an increase in drug flow and more efficient search methods by customs authorities, setting a new record for the volume of cocaine seized in Sweden.
