It is the third person to be detained in the scandal and a total of five people are suspected, writes Nya Wermlands-Tidningen. Currently, two victims have been identified.

As I have said before, we can see that there are more plaintiffs and more suspects than those already existing, says prosecutor Lena Bohlin to NWT.

The detained persons are from different parts of the country and the suspected crimes are said to have taken place on different occasions, both physically and remotely.

It's about crimes that have largely been committed over the internet, which explains the geographical spread, says Lena Bohlin to SVT Nyheter Värmland.
