In March, April, and May 1985, Swedish customs officials raided Bofors and its subsidiary Nobelkrut. In the middle of May 1985, marketing director Mats Lundberg met Nobelkrut’s CEO, Hans Sivertsson, and canceled confirmed orders that would have required illegal smuggling of the equivalent of 370 million kronor ($40 million). On June 5, 1985, Dagens Nyheter revealed that Bofors was suspected of smuggling gunpowder to Iran.
