Pirate Bay co-founder detained in Sweden

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - The co-founder of The Pirate Bay file sharing website was on Friday detained in Sweden, days after his deportation from Cambodia, officials said.

Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, 27, faces a one-year prison sentence for promoting copyright infringement in his home country.

"The person who was recently arrested in Cambodia, suspected of hacking computer data provider Logica, was placed in detention today (Friday)," said the Swedish public prosecutor's office in a statement.

Warg was arrested in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh on August 30 at Stockholm's behest and expelled late on Monday.
