Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was one of four people charged in Sweden on Tuesday on suspicions they hacked into several Swedish agencies and companies and attempted to transfer money out of the Nordea bank.

"A large amount of data from companies and agencies was taken during the hack, including a large amount of personal data, such as personal identity numbers (personnummer) of people with protected identities," prosecutor Henrik Olin said in a statement.

As the hack also involved attempts to withdraw money from the Nordea bank, the indictment includes charges of aggravated fraud, attempted aggravated fraud, and being an accomplice to attempted aggravated fraud.

"I'd say that Svartholm Warg is the main person and brains behind the hacker attack," Olin told the TT news agency.

Prosecutors expect the hacking case to come to trial in late May.

Dude, give up on the beard already.
