The man "is considered a key person in a criminal network", writes the police on their website. He is suspected of having created and administered chat groups in social media where he posted assignments to carry out violent acts in Sweden and Denmark.

The suspicions of incitement to attempted murder concern a shooting drama in Malmö in August last year. Then a man was shot and injured on Möllevångstorget by a 13-year-old boy.

The second point the man was arrested for concerns a murder that he is suspected of having planned with a man in Stockholm. The plans were never carried out.

Before the 28-year-old was extradited to Sweden, he was detained in Chile for almost a year. He was arrested suspected of violence against a close relative. It was then discovered that he was wanted and requested for extradition by prosecutors in Sweden and Denmark.

The man is suspected, among other things, of having administered the chat group "Samurajbarnen" on Telegram with 11,000 members. In the group, which was discovered in November last year, a large number of murders and bombings were announced. Telegram closed the group at the request of the police.

In Denmark, the man is suspected of having hired a 16-year-old Swedish boy to shoot a man in Copenhagen.

I cannot give a clear answer to what will happen when the trial process in Sweden is completed, says the Danish prosecutor Andreas Emil Christensen to SVT News.
