    From a quick search, it seems like international piracy has universal jurisdiction. So any country could prosecute I guess. I imagine countries have laws regarding piracy committed against vessels under their flag or committed against their citizens, but that’s per country so it depends on UK and/or Swedish law.

    But it also seems like the legal definition of piracy includes “private”, so maybe state actions don’t technically fall under piracy law (despite clearly being piracy)?
