Stockholm - A man wanted by Interpol over allegedly abducting his six-year-old Swedish daughter arrived Tuesday in Sweden after being deported from Cambodia, police and local media said.

The girl, Alicia Elfversson, arrived Friday in Sweden with her mother and aunt who for the past year have been looking for the girl.

Alicia was reported missing on June 4, 2007, after her father, Torgier Nordbo, picked her up for a routine visit to see relatives in Norway.

Nordbo, who has business interests in Thailand, was later tracked to Cambodia. The 47-year-old was detained last week by Cambodian police.

He now faces charges in the child's hometown of Gothenburg, western Sweden
