According to information, the artist who was kidnapped did not want to participate in the police investigation.
After the kidnapping took place, he published a clip on social media where he announced that he was feeling well and that "anyone" could be the victim of kidnappings and being beaten.
The artist suspected of stamping the crime is now in custody and has been assigned a defender.
The person has connections to a criminal Stockholm network.
