    This oligarch is fascinating:

    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.

    She changed her name, fully. But both names are quoted in news articles, it would appear. I’m not certain if this was an attempt for her to re-brand herself.

    And to get a perspective of how great the damage was, this small snippet is noteworthy:

    In one incident, a Think Pink waste pile close to a nature reserve burned for two months after spontaneously combusting.

    Trashy oligarchs - I hope karma serves them well.

      looks like it took a lot of public workers to put it down too
