Rakhmat Akilov, main suspect in the Stockholm truck attack which killed four and injured 15, appeared in court on Tuesday, April 11, and was remanded for at least 30 days.
His lawyer said the 39-year-old Uzbek admitted to committing a terrorist crime.
Akilov was a known ISIS sympathizer, but police had not considered him to be a threat before the attack.
The Uzbek man had applied for a permanent residency permit in 2014. In June 2016 his application was rejected, and Sweden’s Migration Agency decided to expel the man. He was ordered to leave the country within four weeks.
