Swedish Supreme Court rules multiple drug sales constitute one crime for sentencing thresholds.

The Supreme Court of Sweden ruled that multiple sales of narcotics by a single individual constitute a single crime for the purpose of determining the sentencing threshold. The prosecution argued that each sale should be counted separately to maximize the penalty, while the defense contended that the acts formed a continuous course of conduct. The court decided that the specific statutory provisions regarding continuous offenses require the entire series of sales to be evaluated as one criminal act to ensure consistent sentencing standards.
