**A Swedish man suspected of having masterminded the theft of a sign from the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz has been extradited to Poland.**Anders Hogstrom arrived in Warsaw before being taken to Krakow, not far from Auschwitz, for questioning, the BBC’s Adam Easton reports.
Mr Hogstrom, a 34-year-old former neo-Nazi leader, denies any wrongdoing.
He told a Swedish newspaper that he was asked to take possession of the sign on behalf of an unnamed collector.
He said, however, that he did not want to be involved and tipped off the Polish police.
Five Polish men have have been charged with stealing the sign.
Mr Hogstrom helped found the far-right National Socialist Front in 1994, but later left the organisation.
If convicted, he could face a prison sentence of up to 10 years, which he could serve in Sweden.
The 5m (16ft) wrought iron sign - the words on which translate as “Work sets you free” - was cut into three pieces after it was stolen.
It is now being repaired and a replica has been put in its place.
More than a million people - 90% of them Jews - were murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz in occupied Poland during World War II.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
