In Sweden, the trial of 11 individuals, including the ex-CEO Bella Nilsson, unfolds as they face allegations of illegally dumping over 200,000 tonnes of toxic waste across multiple municipalities. The accused were part of the prestigious waste firm Think Pink, now infamous for causing 260 million SEK in damages, notably in Botkyrka where waste piles burned for months.

Prosecutors aim for a 10-year business ban against them. The company's collapse in 2020 coincided with the owners' arrests, marking one of Sweden's largest environmental crimes.

Bella Nilsson, dubbed the 'queen of trash', and her associates face charges of serious environmental and economic crimes, amidst claims of a conspiracy by business competitors. The case involves a 45,000-page investigation, with the trial expected to hear from 150 witnesses and deliver a verdict no earlier than next spring.
