Former Pirate Bay spokesman and co-founder Peter Sunde was
arrested in a rural area near Malmo, Sweden. Sunde was wanted by Interpol for more than two years, ever since the sentence for his role in the Pirate Bay website was made final. He has been living in Berlin for quite some time, but still had family ties in Sweden, which he visited occasionally. Earlier today, a special Swedish police unit tasked with tracking down criminal fugitives carried out a raid at a farm in Skåne. Local law enforcement reportedly worked in collaboration with the Polish police. While details are scarce at the moment, the Swedish newspaper Expressen reports that the arrest has been confirmed by the Swedish authorities. According to Peter Althin, Sunde's lawyer, the news means that his client will most likely be sent to prison to serve his 8-month sentence.
