The Varsinais-Suomi District Court has handed down severe sentences for serious drug offenses to three men and one woman, with the total length of the sentences amounting to well over 20 years. The sentences include a primary offender who was given just under nine years, with the other sentences being seven years, nearly six years, and just under two years. The group was found to be in possession of significant amounts of drugs, including six kilograms of amphetamine, half a kilogram of cocaine, alpha-PVP (known as thumb), and various pharmaceuticals classified as narcotics.

Law enforcement managed to seize some of the drugs, which were intended for sale, from a stash in Lohja before they could reach the market. Additionally, one member of the group was found to have cultivated cannabis at their residence for use as a narcotic. The total count of charges against them amounted to 24, including various drug-related offenses as well as one individual being convicted for gross endangerment in traffic, where they fled from police in urban areas at speeds exceeding 140 kilometers per hour.

The case highlights the ongoing battle against drug trafficking and illicit drug use in Finland, particularly in urban centers. The sentences reflect the court's stringent stance on drug crimes, aiming to deter similar offenses by showcasing the serious legal consequences of such actions. As the judgments are not yet final, there may still be further developments in the legal proceedings that follow this case.
