Kim Roger Berglund (also known as Kim Eriksson Sirawan), born 17 February 1981, is a convicted Swedish drug manufacturer and trafficker. He was a central figure in the Scandinavian underworld during the 2000s. His main criminal activity was producing anabolic steroids, pharmaceutical drugs and smuggling counterfeit cigarettes from China into the EU. Before his arrest he was running his criminal enterprises out of Thailand. Berglund is most known for being sentenced to death in Thailand as well as being the Swedish citizen who has been incarcerated for the longest time in both Thailand and Sweden for a drug related crime.[1][2][3]
According to the US DEA, Berglund was the leader of a criminal organization manufacturing and trafficking drugs which comprised members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and their associates.[4] According to Swedish publications and prosecutors, Berglund was also the mastermind behind the largest clandestine manufacture of anabolic steroids in Swedish history.[5] Berglund used the internet websites vikingstore.org, steroidakuten.org, bodymass.org and netparma.net to market and distribute his steroids and drugs.[6] His operations were conducted continuously from at least 2002 until his arrest in 2010 and were described by authorities as being run like a regular business with company accounts and salaries paid to employees at the end of each month.[7]
On 22 September 2011 he was sentenced to death by the Bangkok Criminal Court, a sentence that was commuted to life imprisonment.[8] He spent eight years and seven months in some of the world's most notorious prisons such as Bombat Piset, Bangkwang and Klong Prem before being transferred to Sweden to serve the remainder of his sentence.[9] He was released on 12 June 2022 after benefiting from a Royal Pardon granted by the King of Thailand. In total Berglund served one month short of 12 years in prison, including 3,117 days in Thai prisons.[10][11]
