STOCKHOLM: Swedish prosecutors have released a 36-year-old man who was arrested at Stockholm's airport on a Russian warrant as he was about to leave Sweden.

In a statement, Jacobsson said there were no grounds to keep the man in custody. He declined to identify the man or specify the charges against him.

Jacobsson said the man was arrested on Friday morning at Arlanda airport during a stopover because his name appeared on the Interpol's wanted list.

Jacobsson says the man holds several citizenships, including Russian. He says the man was heading to another country which he refused to identify.
