It was in the spring that images in which a famous Swedish artist was beaten and humiliated began to spread on social media. However, the artist, who commented on the kidnapping on his own accounts, chose not to report the incident to the police, but should have stated that it was all a public relations tactic.
Has connections to the Vårbyn network
However, a preliminary investigation was launched and now prosecutor Anna Stråth confirms that four men have been arrested in the case. However, one is detained in her absence. They all have connections to the Vårbyn criminal network in southern Stockholm. One of the men is a former soccer player.
– Among other things, they are arrested for kidnapping but deny the crime, he says.
Criminal suspicions also apply to robbery and aggravated extortion.
I don’t want to comment on the investigation.
What has led to these people being arrested?
– It is too early to delve into what we have done to investigate the case.
It was previously reported that the artist did not want to participate in the investigation, can you comment on this?
– No, I cannot comment on the plaintiff.
