A businesswoman who styled herself as the “Queen of Trash” has gone on trial in Sweden accused of illegally dumping mountains of waste, in the country's biggest ever environmental crime case.
Bella Nilsson is one of 11 people charged with “aggravated environmental crime”.
She was chief executive of waste management company NMT Think Pink, which is accused of dumping or burying 200,000 tonnes of waste in 21 locations between 2015 and 2020.
Lawyers for Ms Nilsson who is now called Fariba Vancor, and another former chief executive Leif-Ivan Karlsson say they deny any wrongdoing.
Entering Attunda district court north of Stockholm, Ms Nilsson refused to answer reporters' questions.
Prosecutors said the way the company mismanaged the waste led to harmful levels of carcinogenic chemicals, lead, arsenic and mercury being released into the air, soil and water.
In one incident, a Think Pink waste pile close to a nature reserve burned for two months after spontaneously combusting.
Ms Nilsson has previously told Swedish media that her company acted in line with the law.

Global warming is caused by trash.

Hold on, isn’t Cardi B the Queen of Trash?
I thought it was Lady Gaga.
Parts of Sweden have been taken over by the Albanian, Turkish, or other Mafia concerns.
Of course they would have an ethnic Swede front.
Waste management = Mafia. OK, that’s “The Sopranos”, but an ethnic Swede grossly polluting their own country would be a first. Always possible of course. 🤷🏻♂️
She appears to be from the far south of Sweden, the Tripoli neighborhood I think.
Think Pink is a woman-run company. Therefore, they can do no wrong.
The Hilabitch Clintdog waives hello.
“IDIOCRACY” at least had a Happy Ending.
Corrupt politicians always support onerous regulation because they know criminals will game the system and, if they want to stay in business, need to grease the palms of some politicians...
“Nilsson who is now called Fariba Vancor,”

The Camorra illegally dumped garbage and industrial waste in southern Italy near Naples for years resulting in an area, called the Triangle of Death that now has the one of the highest cancer rates in the western world. Hope they stick it to this crazy broad.
