Swedish stance on Soviet hijacking and extradition treaty
The Swedish Foreign Ministry faces a hijacking standoff as Jakovtev demands the return of the aircraft crew and passengers to the Soviet Union and extradition of the hijacker. Sweden, party to an antihijacking treaty but without an extradition pact, must decide under Swedish law and the treaty whether to extradite or try the suspect. The incident marks Sweden’s first hijacking of a Soviet airliner, with past attempted hijackings noted and a 1973 Soviet law cited for penalties up to 15 years.
