The accused worked on oil transport in Norway, the newspaper Expressen writes. And according to the newspaper Aftonbladet, who talked to a friend of the man, he also trained as a shipbroker in Norway.

The man lived in Norway for several years around the year 2000, according to VG. The newspaper spoke to a source who knew the wanted man during this period. He described him as “a lone wolf.”

An explosion took place last week in a block of flats in Annedal, in central Gothenburg. The accused was also a resident of the block, according to Swedish media.
