Sweden Will Deliver Pirate Bay Co-Founder To Denmark

wiredmikey writes "Sweden said it will hand over Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg to Denmark where he is wanted for questioning on alleged hacking charges. 'It (the extradition) will take place on November 27,' the prosecutor in charge of the case, Henrik Olin, said, adding that Sweden was responding to an arrest warrant issued by Copenhagen. In June, Danish police revealed that the 30-year-old Swedish hacker is suspected of illegally downloading police files between April and August 2012. He is currently serving a one-year sentence in Sweden for hacking into the computer systems of contractors working for the national tax authority."

Fortunately they won't hand over Assange if they get him, because the US does not currently have an arrest warrant for him out of Grand Jury. That won't happen until the day after he's extradited to Sweden.
