Apparenly an professionally run operation. No evidence left on shipped products. But the police just camped at some mailing locations and found them this way.

This might have caused the third largest Swedish bank to run a negative full page Bitcoin ad in Swedish newspaper(!)
The article is a full page ad, marked as "sponsored content".

Same old story all over again: They should tell us how much swedish krona has been used in the last few years for illegal activities. But no, they just focus on Bitcoin

Actually the focus was not that much on Bitcoin. They said the coins were funneled through what I think is the bank account of BitStamp. Also I read some claims saying the bust was the second largest in the country. I can't imagine it being very big compared to busts in the US though.

The police department is of the opinion that the drug ring has been operating from at least 2007 (when Bitcoin wasn't even invented). They began using the dark net to sell their product from 2013 onward. According to the cops, they were shipping several thousand packages every year, but it is not sure how many of them were sold through the dark net sites.

I have read the translated version from google but I didn't see the part on how the were arrested.
Are you saying that the police arrested them by staking some mail locations?

Also, the article doesn't really say much about the specific case.
They talk more about dark markets and how they work.
It almost looks like a promotion

It's all propaganda. They're trying so  desperately to distract people from the futuristic technology that is Bitcoin.

Here is another example of a spin-doctored article against our Bitcoin:

And the media is still all about that "Bitcoin is anonymous", "Bitcoin is untraceable"

Yeah media are manipulating and bending the facts about bitcoin, no surprise there. When information like: 'bitcoin is anonymous - therefore used by criminals' is convenient for anti bitcoin propaganda is is all over the place. Then how they managed to find and trace another black market, bitcoin is anonymous and untraceable after all, magic?  I hope intelligent readers see through anti bitcoin propaganda.
