Police: "Major suspects extradited to Spain - for murder and explosions"

According to Stefan Larsson, fraud investigator at the Malmö Police, they belong to the criminal network that the police considered to be the chiefs of the fraud SVT News Blekinge examined, where 82-year-old Sixten in Arvidsjaur was cheated on SEK 250,000 by a fake banker.

- There is a direct link between the fraud and the gang criminal environment with the deadly violence, with Malmö as its main place. This business gives them food on the table, says Stefan Larsson.

By means of, among other things, scouting, photo documentation and monitoring cash flows, the police believe that it could link both principals and callers to a number of scams based on Malmö in 2018.

How could Sixt's case be linked to these people?

- We could see, among other things, that the "script" used in the conversation with Sixten is similar to what these people always used, and that the same phone was used on several occasions, says Stefan Larsson.

According to him, there were plans by the police to strike the league.

- Yes, it probably happened after the turn of the year. But then suddenly the request for extradition came to Spain, for crimes in which they risk prison for 20 years and up. For the fraud we investigated, the maximum sentence is imprisonment for six years, says Stefan Larsson.

Several preliminary investigations are still ongoing in Sixten's case, but they concern suspected money launderers.

- When we follow the money from the person who gets rid of them, we always look at which account they land - ie the money-keeper. So he or she almost always goes there and is prosecuted, says Stefan Larsson.
