Three men have been detained in Gothenburg suspected of terrorism crimes related to murders in Syria, the city's district court said on Friday.
Two men aged 30 and 32 were arrested on Thursday while a third, 26-year-old suspect was detained in his absence in the first-ever case in which traveling fighters are tried for crimes committed elsewhere, news agency TT reported.
"My client denies the accusations," said Hans Gaestadius, the 30-year-old's lawyer.
The two arrested men are suspected of terrorism crimes at an undisclosed location in Syria believed by prosecutors to have been committed between April and July of 2013.
The third suspect is accused of abetting terrorism crimes in the country during the same period.
Home Affairs Minister Anders Ygeman said the arrests were "very gratifying".
