<p>A Swedish man has been sentenced to two years and eight months in prison for instigating the theft last year of the notorious &#8220;Arbeit Macht Frei&#8221; (&#8220;Work Sets You Free&#8221;) sign from the former Auschwitz death camp.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the Polish regional court in Krakow said a judge decided to approve a settlement that Anders Hogstrom reached with Polish prosecutors.</p>
<p>Hogstrom, who had confessed to involvement in the theft in December 2009, was convicted of instigating it.</p>
<p>He will be transferred to Sweden in the coming weeks to serve his term.</p>
<p>Judge Jaroslaw Gaberle also approved plea deals for two Polish men. They were convicted of involvement in stealing the sign and given sentences of up to two-and-a-half years.</p>
