Sweden Seeks to Extradite Convicted Murderer Milosz Olak to Poland

Last year, Milosz Olak was sentenced to life imprisonment following the shooting in Farsta that same year. Now, the Swedish Migration Agency wants the 20-year-old to serve his sentence in his homeland, Poland. However, Milosz Olak opposes this.

Two men – Ronnie Delen, 21, and Milosz Olak, 21 – were sentenced last year to life imprisonment after the brutal fatal shooting in Farsta in the summer of 2024.

The shooting took place near the subway in Farsta in broad daylight.

Ronnie Delen emptied the magazine of a Kalashnikov at a group of people at the subway entrance. Six people were hit by bullets or shrapnel, and two people died.

Shortly after the shooting, the shooter Ronnie Delen and Milosz Olak, who acted as the driver, were arrested following a car chase involving a large number of police officers.

Court of Appeal Judge Carina Sjögren described the act as marked by "complete indifference to other people's lives." "It is pure chance that more people were not injured or killed," she said at the time.

To Be Deported

Milosz Olak is a Polish citizen but came to Sweden at the age of six and has had Swedish residency since 2011.

Despite a relatively strong connection to Sweden, the court found grounds for deportation, and he was sentenced not only to life imprisonment but also to deportation.

"His behavior undoubtedly constitutes a real, actual, and very serious threat to fundamental societal interests in Sweden," the court wrote.

Does Not Want to Go to Poland

Time in prison has not been smooth for Milosz Olak.

He recently applied for a so-called air hole leave. "He wants to eat something nice, shop at a store," the application states.

But the request was denied. According to the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, the risks are too great, partly due to Olak's connection to organized crime.

"The current enforcement plan shows that Olak's social circle mostly consists of criminals and that he has antisocial thought patterns, and the risk of recidivism in crime is assessed as high," the Swedish Prison and Probation Service writes.

The decision also states that the Swedish Prison and Probation Service wants the murderer transferred to a Polish prison, but he himself opposes this.

Every year, about ten inmates are transferred to other countries to serve their sentences there. In 2019, the number was 75, with 28 of them transferred to other Nordic countries.
