About ten people are suspected of crimes after right-wing extremist demonstrations in Stockholm on Sunday, writes Aftonbladet.

On Sunday, several different groups gathered in Stockholm because November 30, the anniversary of Charles XII's death, is an important day for organizations within the far-right. Among others, Alternative for Sweden gathered in Kungsträdgården.

After the demonstrations, about ten people were suspected of crimes, according to the police. Several are said to have given the Hitler salute and chanted "hell victory."

"We have a report of incitement against an ethnic group and this appears to have happened in different places," Mats Eriksson, press spokesperson for the police, told the newspaper.

In addition to incitement against a group of people, a report of attempted aggravated theft was also received, where a man in his 20s was arrested but later released. No other person has been arrested in connection with the demonstrations.

Corrected: In a previous version, there was an incorrect statement about which group participated in Sunday's demonstrations.
