The co-founder of The Pirate Bay peer-to-peer website was on detained Friday in Sweden, days after his exile from Cambodia, officials said.

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

Warg was given a one-year prison conviction by a Swedish court in 2009 for advertising infringement of copyright but failed to turn up to serve his term at the beginning of this year.

“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’s other co-founders of the popular site, Fredrik Neij and Peter Sunde, in addition to the significant financier Carl Lundstroem all had their 12-month sentences cut down to between four and 10 months on appeal in late 2010.
