He is thus the one who has received the longest sentence so far among the Swedes who have been detained after coming to Denmark to commit crimes last year.
The Copenhagen City Court (district court) believes that he is guilty of putting two people in mortal danger. However, it is not proven that the intention was to kill, and therefore he is not convicted of attempted murder.
A Swedish woman who drove him is acquitted. The court has concluded that she did not know what the man was going to do.
An 18-year-old Danish man is sentenced to five years in prison for delivering the hand grenade to the Swede.
The 25-year-old Swede from Skåne has, according to his defense attorney, been under heavy pressure from criminals he owed money to.
After the grenade explosion in Copenhagen, his parents in Sweden have been threatened and are now living under police protection. His mother's partner is also said to have been shot at, according to the attorney.
The Swede had, just like many other Swedes before him, been hired to commit crimes in Denmark.
They are called Swedish torpedoes, says prosecutor Andreas Christensen.
