Jonas Falk sentenced to nine years and two months in Swedish cocaine case
Stockholm District Court convicted Jonas Falk on 28 July 2026 of four serious drug offences involving more than 2,300 kilos of cocaine. His lawyer announced an appeal that day, challenging the weight given to Sky ECC chats.
Case B 12587-25 concerns offences in 2020 and 2021. The court found Falk involved in planning and carrying out shipments from Costa Rica to Portugal and from Suriname to Spain. A third shipment was stopped off Colombia. He was also convicted over cocaine production commissioned in Colombia, a transaction that was not completed because the drugs could not be delivered.
The evidence relied heavily on messages from three EncroChat and Sky ECC accounts, supplemented by other material. The court said text and images in the chats and other evidence linked him to the accounts. It found that the messages showed an active role in all four offences and organised large-scale trafficking. Falk denied the offences. His lawyer Max Ahlgren told SVT the court had given the Sky chats too much weight and that he had been instructed to appeal.
The sentence was nine years and two months. The court took account of an earlier four-year-and-ten-month sentence and the combined statutory ceiling of fourteen years. Falk lived in Spain and had been surrendered to Sweden for this prosecution. The court stated that he would subsequently return to Spain.
