The agent has been held in custody in absentia since early October. The arrest in Vienna was made in cooperation between the Swedish Economic Crime Agency, Swedish police and Austrian police.

The agent is suspected, despite his denial, of aggravated money laundering and three counts of aggravated accounting fraud.

The Economic Crime Authority's Chief Prosecutor Henric Fagher confirms to GP that the man has been extradited by Austrian authorities and that he has arrived in Sweden.

A detention hearing for the agent is now pending in Gothenburg District Court.
