he's evading the judicial process.
Which to most people is suggestive of some degree of guilt

he is,
the problem is when the judicial process is the puppet of the CIA.

Sweden also has a long history of participating in international military operations, including most recently, Afghanistan, where Swedish troops are under NATO command

His claimed reasons for doing so make it far more suggestive of paranoid delusions

I haven't seen any convincing evidence that he'd actually get shipped off to the US by Sweden.
But then, there's a conspicuous lack of assurances that he wouldn't be.

So Sweden stepped up, I seem to remember (hazily) a 15 year old Swedish kid being arrested by the FBI a while back. They raided his house, in Sweden. They have form.
EDIT: Shit, can't find any trace of the story... it had something to do with DVD copy protection or something, and the code ended up on T-Shirts... did I dream all that?

I think you mean this chap: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Lech_Johansen. He was Norwegian. Wasn't the FBI breaking down his door either I'm afraid, but I guess you could say the Americans "started it" if you wanted to.
