Anti-immigrant publication MV-lelhti Chief Editor Ilja Janitskin has been arrested in Andorra, according to the National Bureau of Investigation(NBI).

The NBI in a Twitter post late Friday night said that the arrest of Janitskin, also founder of the anti-European Union publication was confirmed by Interpol.

The Ministry of Justice in Finland will take further course of action to bring him back to Finland.

He has been facing a total of 46 charges including aggravated incitement against an ethnic group, aggravated slander, money laundering, gambling offenses, illegal threats, breach of confidentiality and intellectual property theft, reported national broadcaster Yle.

The District Court of Helsinki in October 2016 issued an arrest warrant of Janitskin in absentia for founding the nationalist website MV-lehti from his home country Spain.

Earlier, Janitskin was detained by Spanish police on October 27, 2016 but he was released after three days.

That time Janitskin was transported to trial from Barcelona to Madrid drugged, and that his hands and legs were tied.

MV-lehti is a Finnish language extreme right-wing website founded in Spain in 2014. Its founder Ilja Janitskin is a Finn, who is believed to live in Barcelona, Spain.

Finnish police want to summon Janitskin, who is suspected of a series of wrongdoings connected to the website, to return to Finland for interrogation.

Janitskin is a former member of the Bandidos motorcycle gang with an extensive criminal record.

MV-lehti was alleged of publishing incendiary, racist and erroneous articles, gaining a wide following in Finland since an increasing number of asylum seekers began arriving in Europe in mid-2014.

In January this year, a group of Finnish political and student youth organizations demanded to launch an investigation into MV-Lehti. Soon after, the Helsinki prosecutor's office handed over the request to the Helsinki Police Department.

After completing a preliminary investigation, police will decide whether or not to transfer the case to the prosecutor for consideration of charges.
