The arrest is linked to the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat's review, where the man is accused of having a sect-like activity where women have been manipulated and controlled. According to eighteen anonymous women interviewed in the magazine, he must have threatened, sexually harassed, harassed and manipulated them. The man, through his lawyer, has denied all charges against him.

The police investigation into the man has in the past led to him being suspected of serious human trafficking, abuse and sexual exploitation. The police now say that the man is also suspected of gross rape and gross sexual exploitation of children, writes Swedish yle.

The investigation is being extended

The new suspicions mean that the police work will drag on over time. The police therefore state that the deadline for bringing charges against the man is being moved forward from February to June.

- It takes several months to investigate this unusually comprehensive whole. The new suspicions mean that we have a lot of work left, including hearing dozens of witnesses, says investigative leader Saara Asmundela of the Helsinki Police to the Swedish yle.

The man has previously been convicted of exploiting his power over young women.
