Swedish businessman Carl Lundström, a co-founder of the file-sharing website The Pirate Bay, has died in a plane crash in Slovenia, according to a far-right political party he was affiliated with.
Alternative for Sweden (AfS), the nationalist party, announced the death of the 64-year-old entrepreneur, calling him “a legend and a veteran of Swedish nationalism.”
Slovenian police confirmed Wednesday to AFP that a body had been recovered at the crash site, “probably the Swedish pilot,” but declined to release the identity pending forensic examination.
The small aircraft crashed Monday into a wooden mountain lodge in the Velika Planina region in northern Slovenia. Due to poor weather conditions, rescuers were unable to reach the site until the following day.
