Queen of Trash: Sweden convicts 10 people in its biggest environmental trial
Briefly

A Swedish court has convicted ten people, including Think Pink's CEO Bella Nilsson, for illegal toxic waste dumping, marking the country's largest environmental crime trial. The defendants received prison terms ranging from two to six years after accumulating evidence against the waste management company, which improperly disposed of about 200,000 tonnes of waste from 2015 to 2020. This practice released hazardous materials into the environment, significantly endangering public health.
