A Suspect is Arrested in Sweden For His Connection to the Fires at the Massachusetts Jewish Institutions
Swedish authorities arrested a man on Wednesday who is accused of obstructing an investigation into fires set at Jewish institutions in Massachusetts.
A federal grand jury in Boston indicted Alexander Giannakakis, 35, on five charges related to falsifying information in relation to domestic terrorism, concealing records in a federal investigation, and tampering with documents and an official proceeding, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Massachusetts.
Giannakakis was arrested in Sweden at the request of the U.S., which is now planning to seek his extradition so he can face charges in Boston. Giannakakis is formerly from Quincy, Mass.
