Swedish Foxtrot gang member arrested in Morocco, wanted for attempted murder preparations

A 31-year-old Swedish man who played a central role in the criminal network Foxtrot has been arrested in the coastal city of Agadir in Morocco, police write on their website.

The arrest was made by Moroccan authorities on Friday evening. The 31-year-old man has been detained in absentia and is wanted by Interpol on suspicion of two counts of preparation for murder.

"We assess that it is a strategically important arrest that we believe affects the criminal network's ability to carry out violent and drug crimes in which the now arrested man had a central role," writes Anders Wiberg, head of the international unit at Noa, in a press release.

The man, who lives in Malmö, will be sought for extradition to Sweden. He is said to have been abroad in recent years.
