A 21-year-old Swedish gang member listed on Europol's most wanted register has been arrested in Sitges, Spain, according to reports from Swedish media.
The suspect was being held in absentia in Sweden, where he faces charges involving instigation of murder, attempted murder, weapons offenses, and involvement in explosions. European law enforcement added him to the Europol list last spring as part of several preliminary investigations targeting high-level figures in Swedish organized crime.
