The man who rammed a stolen truck into a crowd in Stockholm in April last year, killing five and injuring 14, was charged on Tuesday with terrorism, attempts to carry out an act of terror, and putting others in danger. Rakhmat Akilov, a 39-year-old Uzbek national, has already confessed but wants to avoid a life sentence or deportation, his attorney said at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon after the preliminary investigation was made public for the first time.
