According to the documents that Kvällsposten had read, the person was arrested in Malmö. Later that day, the Malmö District Court appointed a lawyer for the person.
Hans-Jörgen Hanström does not mean what kind of crime the person is suspected of.
– This applies to crimes that are investigated by the Security Police, says Hans-Jörgen Hanström.
According to the still unconfirmed information from Kvällsposten, this is a terrorist crime. The suspect’s attorney does not want to comment.
The level of terrorist threat in Sweden remains high, one-third on a five-point scale. The National Center for the Assessment of Terrorist Threats, NCT, writes in its assessment of the terrorist threat against Sweden in 2020 that the threats come mainly from Islamists and right-wing extremists acting alone.
The task of the Security Police includes the investigation of terrorist crimes and people who encourage or recruit others to commit terrorist crimes.
