The claim that he bought clothes for SEK 9,000
The day before an SHL match, one of the players wired several thousand kronor to an accused drug dealer.
Five drug purchases are now suspected during the same season.
– Yes, but all the boys in the world have the right to a second chance, says his current sports director.
Last winter a bloody drug war broke out in Sundsvall. Police linked several shootings and a planned bombing to the Dalennätväket and Foxtrot criminal groups, the latter led by Rawa Majeed, better known as the Kurdish Fox.
23 people are charged in the all-encompassing trial, which began at the Atunda District Court in Sollentuna.
During the investigation, the police found a list of over a hundred people who had made payments to a suspected pimp. One of them is an established SHL player who transferred amounts to the accused seller five times during 2021-22.
I used the password “casino”
The player passed 6,000 crowns the day before a series match in which he participated. Carrying more than 9,000 kr during a short break in the season, at the time he was marked as a move with ‘clothes’. For the third time, the day after winning the regular season, he sent 2,000 kronor.
After the 2021-22 season, the player has brought in more than 2,000 crowns for Langar twice. The first time he identified the transfer with the word “casino”, which in other contexts is supposed to be a codeword that langar asked buyers to type in when they wanted to buy from him.
Today the player belongs to a different club than he was during the suspected drug purchases. The current sporting director was not aware of the five transfers when he signed the player.
“We have no problems there.”
– This happened before our contract period, so I have nothing to say about it. And as an association, we are staunchly anti-drugs and have a clear policy, he says.
Will you take action against the player?
– Certainly there will be a statement on our part and if there is conviction, we will have to review what we are going to do. But I think we have a very good control over what our players do. We have no problems there. And everyone deserves a second chance.
A player suspected of buying drugs just over a year ago. Doesn’t that change your view of him?
– no. not now. Because we hired him then. But if there was a conviction, the situation may be different.
It’s a laundry phone.
At the ongoing trial, suspected clients are not dealt with, but the police in Sundsvall will later go ahead and investigate the list. According to municipal police Henrik Plosi, most of the evidence indicated that the payments related to the purchase of drugs.
– It can be proven that it is a fake phone, i.e. a phone used by a person known to us accused of drug offenses through sale. Plosi says there is a lot of evidence that drugs were dealt with on this phone.
Are you surprised by the size of the list and the prevalence of suspicious clients?
– No, not in the least, unfortunately. Drugs are everywhere in society: in municipal workplaces, state workplaces, and in union life. Nothing is excluded. In principle, no one will take heroin, because he takes drugs. But for some reason you can take cocaine and cannabis.
“Informed decisions should be made”
Henrik Blusi is upset that buyers don’t seem to care about the apparent link between drug use and violent crime to criminal networks.
– We try to stress that if you and I buy loaded, we buy from gangsters. Then they will continue to shoot and explode. In Sundsvall, the market for cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis has a turnover of SEK 54 million per year. Do you think it’s good? are bangs Right up your alley Very cool, go ahead. But most people don’t think so, so they have to make a conscious decision not to buy from them, says Plossi.
