The suspected travel crimes, i.e. traveling with the intention of committing particularly serious crimes, were committed in September 2023 and in March 2024, according to the Prosecution Authority.
He has traveled abroad in certain ways, says Chief Prosecutor Per Lindqvist at the National Security Unit.
Can you say which country he traveled to?
No, I cannot. But I can say that there are connections between this case and a person who was recently convicted of, among other things, travel crimes and participation crimes at Attunda District Court, says Lindqvist.
He is referring to a verdict on February 14 where a man was sentenced to three years and three months in prison for participating in a terrorist organization, terrorist financing, and travel crimes. The District Court then established in its verdict that the convicted man had intended to promote, strengthen, and support the terrorist group IS.
Lindqvist is otherwise very tight-lipped about the current detention and does not want to comment on which organization or group the 22-year-old is suspected of having financed, beyond that the financing crime was committed between January 2023 and January 2024.
The arrest of the man went smoothly, according to the Security Police.
