The 33-year-old man is, according to the police's assessment, one of those who controlled the so-called Backa network.

We're not giving up just because they flee abroad. Everyone will have to count on justice catching up sooner or later, says prosecutor Mats Ihlbom to the newspaper.

According to information, the man has, among other things, been in Turkey or Iraq since he was wanted. On Saturday, he could be arrested at Arlanda.

We had informal contacts and he was arrested at Arlanda Airport, says Mats Ihlbom.

The suspicions against the 33-year-old have from the beginning concerned gross drug offenses, which still applies. The prosecutor does not want to comment on whether new suspicions may become relevant.

It is unclear how the man views the suspicions.
