A 70-year-old woman has been sentenced to prison for selling baked goods through social media. The sentence follows years of unauthorized sales despite warnings. The woman, from Norrbotten, continued selling bread and pastries online after being ordered to cease operations in 2019. She ignored fines and failed to register her business, leading to the prison sentence. Authorities found the woman's sales continued through 2024, with unpaid fines. Her lawyer stated she is upset and tried to comply with regulations.
