Five men from Eastern Europe have been sentenced in the Vestre Innlandet district court in an extensive drug case linked to a home in Østre Toten.
The main defendant has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for having produced, stored and/or sold a total of nearly 300 kilograms of amphetamine in 2020 and 2021.
The other four have been sentenced to 14, 11, 7.5 and 4 years in prison respectively. The court convicted three of them of having been part of an organized criminal group.
The drug production took place in a home in Østre Toten where one of the convicts lived.
The case is part of the international drug operation Trojan Shield, which was coordinated by the US FBI. A total of 800 people in 16 countries were arrested within 48 hours, and according to Kripos, nine of these were arrested in Norway.
