Former NHL player Jere Karalahti will go on trial later this month on drug charges.

Karalahti is one of 19 suspects in a widespread case of alleged smuggling and distribution of amphetamines in Finland, officials said. He will face trial in the Vantaa prison court near Helsinki on Jan. 29, the Espoo Regional Court said, but did not announce the exact charges.

Local media have reported that Karalahti, 32, was linked to a drug smuggling network that imported and distributed drugs in Finland in July.
