Swedish sources do state that the bitcoin came from selling drugs.

I don't read Swedish, but the Google translation says, "the police managed to secure 36 bitcoins which, according to the chamber prosecutor, come from the men's drug sales."

That seems to be an assertion the prosecutor made, but I see no facts to support that statement. Prosecutors say those sorts of things all the time in order to win cases.

Are you saying the prosecutor is correct or that the translation is false?

Since the court ordered the dealer to pay the equivalent of 36 bitcoins I'm assuming that the court found it well enough established that the bitcoin came from the drug sales.
