Danish police have arrested Jonas Ahlgren, the Swedish national wanted under an international arrest warrant, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. The 33-year-old is believed to have been hiding in a rented flat in the Danish capital for about a week.
The arrest followed a tip from the public, police said. Ahlgren is suspected of having ordered several violent clashes between rival groups in Stockholm. Extradition proceedings to Sweden have been initiated.
The case is seen as an example of close cooperation between Scandinavian police forces on cross-border gang crime. Swedish investigators reportedly travelled to Copenhagen immediately.
