Note that 155 is the grand total over the entire duration of the operation. The tally (given in your linked video) is:
* 70 yesterday in Sweden
* 5 yesterday in Spain (related to Swedish investigations)
* 80 earlier, candidly
I believe 70 is the figure that should be compared with the 800 total [1].

Which amounts to almost 20% of those arrested. Maybe it's partly due to Sweden historically having strong computer literacy. Only time will tell.
