Sweden's 'Queen of Trash' risks prison in toxic waste crime trial

The trial of Sweden’s most significant environmental case saw a notorious waste management company, Think Pink, and its key figures Modifierled for illegal toxic waste dumping over five years. Bella Nilsson, known as “Queen of Trash,” and others, including her ex-husband and an eccentric entrepreneur, were charged with aggravated environmental crimes but deny the allegations. The trial, which lasted nearly a year and examined 45,000 pages of evidence, highlighted the company’s alleged lack of proper waste processing and the long-term ecological impact, with prosecutors calling for harsher sentences.
