Subsequently, the prosecution confirmed that the woman had been arrested. It is unclear what the suspicions are and prosecutor Reena Devgun is not available for comment.

A press release released by the authority on Friday claims that three women, who had later returned from ISIS-controlled areas, are suspected of crimes in three different cases.

In-depth cooperation between the competent authorities is underway to expedite investigative work and the exchange of information on returnees from the Islamic State. In addition, more general work is being carried out to obtain evidence of the crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in IS-controlled areas in Syria and Iraq. The work is led by prosecutors from the National Unit against Organized and International Crime, Reena Devgun says in the press release.

He works in the National Unit for International and Serious Crimes. For several years, they have been working to collect evidence against the more than 300 Swedes who joined IS in Syria and Iraq.
