Three Sentenced for Role in East Jutland Cocaine Network

A Danish court has handed down prison sentences to three individuals implicated in a significant cocaine trafficking network operating around Horsens in eastern Jutland. The sentences follow a police investigation into the distribution of illicit drugs in the region.

On Friday, a 22-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were convicted at the Court of Horsens. Both pleaded guilty and received sentences of four years and nine months each. Their convictions stem from charges related to receiving, repackaging, and storing a minimum of four kilograms of cocaine across multiple locations within Horsens.

These two individuals were reportedly acting on behalf of others within the network. One such figure, a 31-year-old man, had previously been sentenced at the Court of Odense earlier in the week. He received a five-year prison term for his role in possessing an equivalent amount of four kilograms of cocaine.

The National Unit for Special Crime (NSK) confirmed the details of the convictions in a press release. The sentences underscore the ongoing efforts by Danish authorities to dismantle organized drug trafficking operations within the country.
