The Svea Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's conviction for smuggling and the subsequent deportation order. The defendants, P.J. and V.M., conspired to smuggle 44,000 cigarettes from Riga to Sweden, with V.M. dumping the goods off a boat near Kalvö while the other two waited to retrieve them. The court affirmed that the joint criminal act constituted the crime of smuggling under the relevant law and that the circumstances warranted imprisonment and deportation.
