Swedish Man Wanted by Interpol Arrested in Morocco After Fleeing Prison Sentence

A 21-year-old Swedish man wanted by Interpol has been arrested in Morocco. He was sentenced to prison for conspiracy to commit murder but fled abroad instead of reporting to serve his sentence.

The man was sentenced in February this year to three and a half years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder after posting ads in chat rooms about carrying out murders, the police wrote in a press release.

The Supreme Court then ruled that posting a wanted notice in a closed chat group for someone willing to undertake a murder mission was a crime, even if no one responded.

An international arrest warrant was issued for the man after he failed to report to serve his sentence, and on Tuesday he was arrested by Moroccan police in the coastal city of Agadir.
