Sweden's 'queen of trash' on trial over toxic waste charges

The closely watched trial at Attunda district court in Sollentuna, near Stockholm, centres on the recycling company Think Pink, its former chief executive, Bella Nilsson, and her former husband, Thomas Nilsson.

Prosecutors have accused the company of dumping and burying waste in 21 locations in Sweden in a way that could harm human health and the environment. All the defendants deny wrongdoing.

The case has been several years in the making and the trial is scheduled to take nine months.

Bella Nilsson was the last of the accused to arrive at the court yesterday. Wearing big sunglasses, she refused questions and pushed away reporters' microphones.
