Arrest in theft of death camp icon

SWEDISH police yesterday arrested a former neo-Nazi leader that Polish investigators suspect of being involved in the theft of the “Arbeit Macht Frei” sign at Auschwitz.

Swedish Prosecutor Agneta Hilding Qvarnstrom said 34-year-old Anders Hogstrom was detained in Stockholm on a European arrest warrant.

Hilding Qvarnstrom said Hogstrom will be appointed a defence lawyer and questioned by Swedish investigators before authorities can decide on extraditing him to Poland.
