The feds are notorious for doing stuff like that. Just look at how they were trying to bag assange with rape charges back when he was on the run. Also look at how they prosecute bigger criminals. They dont go after them for smuggling or drug dealing. It is always tax fraud, wire fraud etc. They dont care what crime you committed as long as they get the person behind bars.

Look up five eye agreement. Different governments often work with each other to catch people. You help me out and ill help you out type of stuff.

You might be right about some Swedish quid pro quo here, but Sweden is actually not a member of Five Eyes.

I think FVEY was used as an example of collaboration, not because the poster thought Sweden was part of it.

Exactly, it was an example. The point is governments often work with each other.
