The suspect was wanted under an Interpol red notice issued on March 9 in connection with serious crimes in Sweden, including illegal possession of a firearm that was allegedly used in a murder in Arsta on Sept 17, 2020. Phuket immigration officers said they tracked down the suspect after receiving intelligence that a dangerous Swedish national with links to organised crime had entered this southern tourist province. After legal proceedings in Thailand are completed, he will be deported to Sweden in accordance with immigration procedures, said the arresting team.
