The district court of Päijät-Häme has sentenced four people to prison terms of varying lengths in a large drug crime network. The main perpetrator was sentenced to 7 years and 6 months in prison for a total of 15 serious drug crimes and drug crimes.
In addition, he was ordered to pay a total of around 292,000 euros to the state as financial benefit generated by the crimes. The prosecutor had estimated the financial benefit of the crimes to be significantly higher, almost 850,000 euros.
In the case, one person was sentenced for two serious drug crimes to 2 years and 4 months in prison, one to a year and a half in prison, and one was sentenced to one year of suspended prison.
The convicts had possessed and sold cocaine, amphetamine and marijuana in Lahti and Hollola between spring 2020 and spring 2021.
