The young man could be arrested on Friday after police issued a search warrant for 13 people caught on camera in connection with the Easter riots. Over the weekend, the Tranås resident was detained in Örebro District Court, reports Smålands-Tidningen.

The man has opposed the arrest. He should go unpunished.

The violent scenes during the Easter weekend 2022 took place before far-right politician Rasmus Paludan's manifestation in Sveaparken. Police vehicles were set on fire and both police officers and private individuals were injured.
