The Ministry for Foreign Affairs now confirms that another Swedish citizen has been sentenced to death in Iraq.

"Sweden's embassy in Baghdad, which is currently relocated to Stockholm, has received confirmation from local authorities that a second Swedish citizen has been sentenced to death in the first instance in Iraq", writes the Ministry for Foreign Affairs' press service to TT.

It was at the beginning of January that a man, who previously held a high position in the criminal Foxtrot network in Sweden, was shot dead in Baghdad.

Three Swedish men were later arrested suspected of involvement in the murder. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs has not yet received confirmation of the sentence for the third person, but according to media reports, he too has been sentenced to death.

"These reports are very serious and we are taking action to prevent the sentences from being carried out", the Ministry for Foreign Affairs writes further.
