A 30-year-old man was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Thursday for arranging the smuggling and transfer of cocaine, heroin and hashish.
This is what the National Unit for Special Crime (NSK) writes in a press release.
The case proceeded as a confession case at the Court in Randers.
30-year-old Takin Vatandoust has also been found guilty of laundering nearly DKK 15 million.
NSK writes in the press release that he has admitted in court that in a period between spring 2020 and January 2021 he, together with several others, was behind the smuggling of large quantities of euphoric substances.
There is a total of 14 kilos of cocaine, 3 kilos of brown heroin and 41.4 kilos of hashish.
He is also convicted of having arranged the sale of a gun during the same period.
The smuggling and arms trade was planned on the encrypted communication service Sky ECC.
The money laundering, for which the 30-year-old has also been convicted, happened by trading cryptocurrency and by using a company’s account to make transactions that were supposed to hide the origin of the money.
As part of the sentence, the court confiscated around one million kroner from the 30-year-old. It is estimated to be his profit from the crime.
– I am satisfied that the convicted person has chosen to confess his role in the case. Trafficking in hard drugs is something that the authorities look at very seriously, and this reflects the sentence, says Bjørn Fogh Sørensen, senior prosecutor at NSK, in the press release.
– With today’s verdict, all the people we have charged and prosecuted in the case complex have been sentenced to long prison sentences.
Three men have previously been sentenced to prison terms of 13, 14 and 15 years in the same case.
The man, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison, confessed last November to having smuggled 148 kilos of amphetamine, 12 kilos of cocaine, 3 kilos of brown heroin and 57 kilos of hashish.
