Swede deal: Cambodia gets $60M ‘social aid’ after Pirate Bay founder arrest

n a move that’s set the blogging world alight, Sweden has pledged to give Cambodia $60 million for ‘democratic development’. Some think the timing of the deal - right on the heels of Pirate Bay co-founder Warg’s arrest – is no coincidence.
Many have already dismissed the possible cause and effect between the “imminent deportation” of Gottfrid Svartholm Warg at Sweden’s request and the 60 million US dollar social package as ‘ridiculous’.
Sweden regularly sends financial aid to the struggling Southeast Asian state. But information available on the OpenAid website, which shows where Sweden sends taxpayer money – and how much, shows that this latest promise of help will exceed all previous donations by 50%.
