Five years' imprisonment for man with 31 weapons and Nazi material in storage unit
According to Aftonbladet, a man was sentenced to five years' imprisonment following a substantial weapons seizure. In total, the seizure involved 31 weapons, including various types of rifles, semi-automatic pistols and a machine gun, the newspaper reports.
During a house search, large quantities of ammunition, a bomb casing, pyrotechnic devices, tear gas torches and detonating cord were also found. In the man's storage unit, items bearing Nazi symbols were discovered, and in social media chats he had used Nazi expressions.
The man claimed that it involved joking jargon and that he is a collector with an interest in the Second World War. Prosecutor Jacob Semark dismissed the explanation.
– It is significant in that the weapons were in an environment such that they could potentially be used for criminal purposes, Semark told TT.
