In Sweden, the police arrested the former deputy of Verkhovna Rada Smutash. The Swedish police arrested the former commander of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitri Slybych, who was sentenced in absentia in Ukraine to 12 years in prison for treason. Sviatsch arrived in Sweden last week to attend a concert by the American singer Stevie Wonder in Stockholm. He was stopped by border police on his passport at Arlanda Airport. The official reason was the current ban on entry into the Schengen area. Smutch presented a Ukrainian passport regarding the border. After the arrest, the former member of parliament was placed in the custody of the immigration service. His lawyer Mark Safarian stated that the client opposes extradition to Ukraine. In October 2023, the Supreme Court of Sweden ruled that, given the current situation, Smotsha's deportation to Ukraine was not in accordance with Article 3 of the European Convention. The former deputy requested an immigration court hearing through his lawyer, but on October 27 the court refused to hold a meeting. According to the court's decision, Sabatesh must submit written explanations before October 28, after which the court will issue a verdict. @NorthernFront NATO.
