A Swedish businesswoman who called herself the Queen of Trash has been sentenced to six years in prison in one of the country's biggest environmental crime cases.
Fariba Vancor, formerly known as Bella Nilsson, was convicted of 19 counts of "aggravated environmental crime" after her waste management company Think Pink illegally dumped toxic waste in locations across Sweden.
The former CEO is one of 10 people to be convicted of environmental crimes, including her ex-husband Thomas Nilsson.
Five of the accused were handed prison sentences ranging from two to six years and ordered to pay millions of pounds in damages to fund the massive clean-up operation.
Think Pink was reportedly responsible for dumping or burying some 200,000 tonnes of waste in central Sweden between 2015 and 2020.
