Gottfrid "anakata" Svartholm Warg, the Pirate Bay founder who has been held in a Swedish detention facility for over two months, could face new criminal charges in his home country.

“The new [criminal suspicions] are four counts of aggravated fraud and four counts of attempted aggravated fraud,” Fredrik Berg, a spokesperson for the Swedish Prosecution Authority, told Ars. “He is still in pretrial detention awaiting trial.”

Berg added, however, that the court denied the request to extend his detention on the suspicions of attempted aggravated assault, but kept the suspicions of aggravated assault ("grovt bedrägeri") alive.

Repeated attempts to contact the prosecutor in the case, Henrik Olin, and Svartholm Warg’s defense attorney, Ola Salmasson, were unsuccessful. The suspicions—which were brought Friday and can allow a suspect to remain in custody—are not the same as criminal charges. The new case, whose victim has yet to be named, remains under investigation.

Svartholm Warg had been living in Cambodia, but in September he was deported to Sweden on a visa violation to face possible charges in a hacking case against Logica, a Swedish IT firm that contracts with the Swedish tax authority. Formal charges have yet to be brought in that case.

Under the Swedish justice system, authorities can keep suspects in detention even before they are formally charged with a crime. However, the case must be reviewed by a judge every two weeks to decide whether to release the suspect. In Svartholm Warg’s case, that detention has been ongoing since September.

“It can be renewed until he is tried in court or no longer a suspect,” Berg added. “The rights of the suspect [are] upheld by the right to a detention hearing every two weeks in public court. A complicated investigation can take a long time and can mean a long detention time for a suspected person.”

Svartholm Warg is the first of the four Pirate Bay cofounders to have been forcibly returned to Sweden to serve time. With the exception of Carl Lundström—who served his house arrest in Sweden before returning to his residence in Switzerland—the others have left the country and maintained a pattern of evasive financial and legal tactics to avoid fines and prison terms handed down in 2009 in the Pirate Bay trial. In February, the Swedish Supreme Court declined to hear their appeals. The new case, as well as the Logica case, are distinct from the Pirate Bay case.

The time Svartholm Warg has been serving in detention does count, though, for his earlier sentence of ten months in prison. In addition, he cannot be held in pre-trial detention longer than his original sentence.

In the meantime, Svartholm Warg's supporters have set up a Spotify playlist in his honor. Tracks include "Slavery Days" by Burning Spear, "Me gustas tu" by Manu Chao, and most notably "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan. That song describes the wrongful imprisonment on murder charges of Rubin Carter, a 1960s-era boxer from New Jersey.
