Follow RT on A man whose testimony the FBI uses to justify extraditing Julian Assange from Britain has reportedly been arrested in Iceland after police requested his detention to halt his ongoing crime spree, local media reports.
Sigurdur_Thordarson (born 1992), commonly known as Siggi hakkari (“Siggi the Hacker”), is an Icelandic convicted criminal and FBI informant against WikiLeaks. He is known for information leaks, multiple cases of fraud and embezzlement, sexual solicitation of minors and adults.. ..https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki ›.
Sigurdur Thordarson was placed into custody in Iceland last month, the newspaper Stundin said, citing his lawyer.

A judge agreed with the police that if Thordarson remained free, he would continue an ongoing spree of crimes in the European nation. He is now kept in the highest-security prison in the country, Litla-Hraun, the report said.
There is a provision in Icelandic law that allows indefinite detention of a convicted felon if there is a reasonable suspicion that the individual has been reoffending and will continue to do so unless arrested. It has a high legal bar and is rarely used in practice, but was applied in Thordarson’s case, Stundin reported.

It mentioned earlier confessions of dubious financial machinations made by Thordarson during an interview he gave the newspaper.
Thordarson is a dubious character, whose prior convictions were related to financial fraud and his soliciting of sexual favors from minor boys.
Yet his credibility – or lack thereof – is essential for the ongoing US bid to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from Britain.
