Swedes detained former Ukrainian deputy. He arrived for a Stevie Wonder concert
A Ukrainian politician, Dmytro Swiatasz, was denied entry to Sweden due to a Polish ban on Schengen access. Currently held in a migration center, his lawyer opposes extradition to Ukraine, citing a Supreme Court ruling against deportations amid ongoing conflict. Swiatasz faces political charges and has a history of legal issues in Ukraine, including a 12-year prison sentence for fraud. His lawyer hopes for his release, emphasizing Swiatasz's connections and resources, including a private jet. Swiatasz has been sanctioned by Ukraine due to his alleged ties to Russian authorities.
