A man in his 30s from a municipality in northern Örebro county has been remanded in custody by Örebro District Court. He is suspected of systematically selling alcohol to young people over several months. The decision was made on Friday.
Örebro District Court decided on Friday to remand a man in his 30s, resident in a municipality in the northern part of the county. The man is suspected on probable grounds of serious illegal sale of alcohol, specifically targeted at young people.
According to the charges, he sold spirits to youths in a systematic manner over an extended period spanning several months. The police have investigated the case thoroughly, and the district court deemed there were sufficient reasons for remand considering the risk of continued criminal activity.
The incident highlights the challenges with illegal alcohol trade in the region, particularly involving minors. The man denies the allegations, but the court found the evidence compelling. The case will now proceed within the legal system, with interrogations and further investigation planned.
The background to the arrest stems from tips and police surveillance, which identified the pattern of sales. This serves as an example of how authorities work to protect young people from harmful substances.
