    It seems you didn't read or comprehend the document you linked? What you just referred to as "one of the charges" is literally not a list of charges, it's a list of "offences" which is not the same. Glossing over these definitions is absurd, and half of this document is literally discussing/determining what these differences are and whether the legal frameworks can be upheld across borders or not. The entire purpose of that court's review was to determine if the European arrest warrant could be considered valid in the UK. It explains very clearly and in great detail that he has not been "charged" because that's not how the Swedish judicial system works.
