Swedish Gang Leader Captured in Mexico Operation
Swedish gang leader Mikael 'Greken' Tenezos was captured in Mexico through bilateral police cooperation. Swedish authorities credit Mexican officials for the successful operation despite no formal extradition treaty. The arrest brings a wanted criminal back to face Swedish justice.
Swedish police credit Mexican authorities for the capture of gang leader Mikael 'Greken' Tenezos. The arrest occurred last week in Mexico after Tenezos had been wanted since May. He now faces justice on Swedish soil.
Niclas Andersson leads the investigation unit at the Swedish police. He expressed deep gratitude toward Mexican officials. 'We are extremely thankful for their work,' Andersson said in a statement. 'His presence in Sweden is thanks to Mexican police.'
Swedish police did not share specific details about the capture operation. They confirmed Mexican authorities knew Tenezos was in their country for a long time. Swedish officers were present in Mexico but not during the actual arrest.
Sweden lacks a formal extradition treaty with Mexico. Police emphasized the countries maintain close cooperation instead. This case demonstrates how international police collaboration can overcome legal barriers.
The capture of a high-profile gang leader through informal channels raises questions about standard procedures. It shows European authorities sometimes rely on creative solutions when formal agreements don't exist.
