Sannervik said Tuesday a teenager and two men in their 20s were arrested Sunday in the city of Uppsala, north of Stockholm, after police received tips about the ongoing streaming and rape from users.
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Magnus Berggren told Sweden’s TV4 channel Monday investigators don’t have “the footage showing the alleged assault,” and urged anyone “with “access to this footage” to turn it over.
