We've been going through facebook recovery, it requires pictures of ID. Same way you do any KYC. They still have access to the phone that was connected originally as well but the attacker put in a swedish or belgium number (it says 046 but google shows belgium flag).

+46 is Sweden and +32 is Belgium, 046 is neither though?

Yeah I am not sure, I assumed leading zero didn't matter. It had flag of belgium on google's screen but started with 046 which as you said, Sweden is +46. Maybe it's a Belgium number and starts with 046 and it hides country code.

04[5-9][0-9](+6 digits) are Belgian mobile numbers in national notation. In international notation the leading 0 is ommitted and +32 put in front.

Got it, so country code is hidden.

0460 [## ## ##] and had Belgian flag so that must be Google saving country code that way.
