The man has played a central role in a criminal network in western Sweden, and in 2022 he was sentenced by the Court of Appeal to five years and nine months in prison for four counts of preparation for murder.
The district court acquitted the man of the most serious charges, and he was then released from custody. When the hearings in the Court of Appeal began in January 2022, it was discovered that the man was no longer in Sweden, and he was then wanted through Interpol.
The man was arrested in Turkey in 2024 and landed on Swedish soil on July 21 this year.
"We would like to thank our Turkish colleagues for their excellent work," says Jonas Hemmar, deputy head of the international unit at Noa, in a statement on the police website.
