Sweden’s ‘Queen of Trash’ Risk in Toxic West Crime Trial

Prosecutors called Sweden’s self-declared “Queen of Garbage” on Thursday and four others were jailed for six years to illegally dump toxic waste, as the country’s largest environmental crime test ended.Once the acclaimed waste management company feels that Pink is accused of dumping or burying some 200,000 tonnes of waste from the Stockholm region on 21 sites from 2015 to 2020, which has no intention of properly processing it correctly.Earlier, Chief Executive Bela Nilson, a pre-stripper who once called himself a “queen of garbage”, but is accused of “increased environment crime”.Two others who also acted several times as the chief executive-Nilson’s ex-husband Thomas Nilson, who founded the company, and a eccentric entrepreneur, Leaf-Ewan Carlson, who acted in a reality show about his over-the-top lifestyle-faced a single allegation and a possible sentence.So the “waste broker” Robert Silverston and Tobias Gustfason, accusing them of organizing the transport of waste. All five deny allegations.“We did everything correctly. We did it legally. We followed the law,” Bella Nilson told the district court.His lawyer Thomas Olson dismissed the prosecution claim that the company used wrong documents to mislead the authorities, and said that any wrongdoing was “mistaken”.Bella Nilson – who has now changed his name to Farba Vancore – has insisted that he is a victim of a plot by business rivals.The prosecution also sought a three -year sentence against an environmental advisor who accused the company to help in inspecting, as well as sentences between eight and 18 months for five landowners.Think Pink was hired mainly by municipalities, construction companies, apartment cooperatives and private individuals to dispose of construction materials, but also electronics, metals, plastic, wood, tires and toys.But it seems that Pink left and left the garbage heap and left it.Prosecutors stated that the high levels of toxic PCB compounds, lead, mercury, arsenic and other chemicals were released into air, soil and water, prosecutors said, putting at risk of human, animals and plants’ health.After several years of investigation, the test was opened in September 2024 and consisted of over 45,000 pages.“This test is unique in the scope. Prosecutor Anders Gustafson told AFP, “Large quantities of waste … and investigation and test have gone for a long time.He said that the purpose of Pink was money.“This is extremely expensive for a company to do the right thing. If you collect garbage and do not sort it properly you do a lot.” Many municipalities have demanded a total cleaning and loss of 260 million kroner ($ 27 million) and loss of refinement costs.One of the biggest claims is from the Botkirka City Council, where two feel that the pink waste hemorrhoids were burnt for months in 2020 and 2021. A two was near the nature reserves. The decision is scheduled to be held on 17 June.
