Five individuals have been sentenced to prison for their roles in the high-profile extortion attempt against former CEO Joachim Kuylenstierna.
The case, which began in October 2023, involved threats and demands for a fabricated debt of 100 million kronor.
Two of the convicted have ties to the Vårbynätverket gang.
The crimes included attempted extortion, arson, and illegal threats, with sentences ranging from over a year to nearly five years in prison.
The extortionists had tracked Kuylenstierna and his colleagues, forcing them and their families to flee for safety.
One family narrowly escaped a firebombing incident.
The alleged mastermind, Jonas Falk, remains under investigation and denies involvement.
