Some quick translations.

Addressing the "Hydra effect":

Det händer att en del av dem som säljer narkotika startar upp nya sidor, efter att vi har stängt dem, men det tar lång tid att nå samma nivåer som innan våra insatser.

Sometimes the sellers start new sites after we close them, but it takes time to reach the same levels as before our efforts.

A more interesting part:

Både säljare och köpare av narkotika på nätet går att spåra, och kan ibland vara lättare att spåra än de på gatan, eftersom det ofta finns bevis i både datorer och i hemmet, säger Kim Nilvall

Both sellers and buyers of narcotics online are traceable, and can sometimes be easier to trace than those on the streets, since there is often evidence in both computers and the home, says Kim Nilvall.

The swedish word "spåra" is literally "trace" (verb), with no ambiguity towards proving things even though that is what they seem to actually mean.

How did the police trace them? How did they get caught?

The article is bit strange. As I understand it, they are just now arresting people for sales on SR1?

This indicates my arrest list has a way to go. Right now I have 4 Swedish sellers arrested: Speedsweden, SweExpress, Livefromsweden, Alexandrus. So I'm missing at least half?

Going through the links:

Aside from filling in Livefromsweden, the article is not very helpful but at least now I know...
