A Swedish man believed to be part of the Brussels and Paris terrorist network once starred in a documentary about successful immigration in Malmo.

Osama Krayem, a 23-year-old Swede of Syrian origin, was arrested earlier this month with Mohamed Abrini – the Brussels terrorist known as “the man in the hat”.

Krayem has been charged with “terrorist murders” and is thought to have been involved in preparations for the Brussels attack, as well as participating in the metro bombing.

But Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper reported on Friday that Krayem featured in a 2005 documentary showing how sport helped immigrants integrate into the city.

Entitled Without Borders — A Film About Sport And Integration, the film saw an 11-year-old football-mad Krayem discuss how the Malmo team had helped him settle into Swedish society. Shot with a budget of £22,000, an opening-night review of Without Borders described the “football mad sons” of the Krayem family — the central players in the film — as showing “the essential role of sport for integration”.
