The gang leader has since May this year been detained in his absence and was arrested last week in Mexico.
The police do not go into any details about the arrest, but say that the Mexican authorities have been aware that Tenezos has been in the country "for a long time".
That he is on Swedish soil is thanks to the Mexican police, says Andersson.
Swedish police in Mexico
Sweden does not have an extradition agreement with Mexico, however, they have, according to the police, close cooperation with Mexican authorities. Swedish police have also been on site in the country, although not during the actual arrest.
He was in Mexico illegally and they had no interest in him staying there, says Niclas Andersson.
The criminals who are abroad are also a problem for the countries they are in, says Andersson and means that there is a mutual interest in getting them extradited to Sweden. Representatives from the Swedish police have been on site in, among other places, Iraq, Dubai, and Turkey.
Several countries see a problem with violence moving abroad.
"Possible developments"
Individual arrests like this result in a destabilization – and possibly a power vacuum – within the criminal network environment, says Hanna Paradis, deputy head of the investigation unit at Noa.
We explore all possible developments and do everything to ensure that the vacuum does not result in more violence, but it does not automatically become a new wave of violence.
The police have identified and mapped over 800 criminal individuals who are abroad and affect organized crime in Sweden.
