Westeros Without Water: They Failed to Pass Off a Madman from Africa as a 'Russian Spy'

[REGNUM] A black criminal broke into a pumping station in the Swedish city of Västerås, leaving the sizable community without water. He has now been sentenced to mandatory psychiatric care.

Black here could mean anything from Moroccan or Syrian to Nigerian, and someone who arrived in Sweden a few years ago to a third generation “Swede” after his parents arrived in 1985.
This tragicomic incident is just the tip of the iceberg. Sweden continues to be plagued by ethnic gangs, whose leaders are listed among Europe's most wanted criminals. They remain elusive, and the criminals continue their vicious activities.

OBSESSED WITH "RUSSIAN SUBMARINES"
The incident in Västerås occurred on the night of January 31, 2026, but its circumstances only became known recently. A 31-year-old Swedish resident approached a strategic city facility and entered. He managed to breach the gates and the door to the small building without any problems.

Once inside, the man headed to the switchboard supplying power to the water mains. There, he disabled the system by pulling the fuses and pressing the emergency stop button.

As a result of this sabotage, 140,000 residents of Westeros

…apparently also meaning Västerås…

were left without water. "This facility essentially supplies water to all of Westeros," prosecutor Magnus Møller later explained. Police quickly received an alarm and were able to apprehend the perpetrator near the facility.

The police immediately noticed that the detained African man was wearing a fur hat with earflaps bearing the Russian coat of arms. On the way to the station, he muttered incoherently about "Russian submarines."

Given the current "Russian spy" hysteria in Sweden, it wouldn't be surprising if the man they detained had actually been labeled as such. However, the police had the presence of mind to send the black man they had captured for a psychiatric evaluation—where it was quickly determined that he was, to put it mildly, not in his right mind.

And, apparently, a significant share of the responsibility for his final loss of control lies with the Swedish media, which has been constantly reporting on "Russian saboteurs" who are allegedly landing from submarines and prowling everywhere.

However, even before his mental collapse, the detainee was far from being considered a harmless member of society. He had previously been convicted of drug trafficking, which he carried out while serving the Death Patrol gang.

During interrogation, the man, having somewhat recovered, confessed to the crime. He adopted a peculiar defense—insisting that he had not intentionally tried to damage the water supply, and that his actions, he claimed, were a "cry for help."

Ultimately, the court sentenced the African man to compulsory forensic psychiatric care. He will remain in the "yellow house" until his recovery, which must be certified by psychiatric experts.

Will he then be set free, or will they ship him off to the home of his ancestors, so he isn’t tempted to pray on Swedes anymore?

Europol recently updated its list of the most wanted criminals operating in the European Union. Among the names on the list were three Swedish citizens: 21-year-old Ali Namdar, 27-year-old Mohamed Mohdi, and 34-year-old Armin Moini.

Moreover, Namdar and Mohdi were “honored” to be included in the top three most dangerous criminals in Europe, along with 29-year-old German-Turk Tunahan Chetkin.

Ali Namdar is an ethnic Arab. His background is fairly typical of ethnic gang members. When he was fourteen, social services recorded him as exhibiting "criminal and deviant behavior."

After this, Sweden's Young Persons' Care Act (LVU) was applied to him. This law gives social services the right to remove a child from a troubled family and place them in a "safe environment"—a foster family or an orphanage. No foster family was found for Namdar, so he was placed in a specialized institution. He didn't stay there long, and upon his release, he began to accumulate a rap sheet of crimes of varying severity.

In a short time, he was caught with illegal possession of weapons, driving without a license, assault, threats (including against police officers), resisting law enforcement officers, and selling drugs.

Ali Namdar didn't remain a loner for long: he joined the formidable Foxtrot criminal network, organized by Kurdistan native Rawa Majid (better known by his nickname, "The Kurdish Fox"). Namdar quickly rose through the ranks—Swedish police recently identified him as one of Foxtrot's central figures. According to the case file, he serves as the organizer of particularly serious crimes within the Scandinavian kingdom.

Namdar prefers to operate using the "violence as a service" scheme, in which perpetrators (often minors) are hired remotely, via the internet.

Since April 29, Ali Namdar has been one of the top players on Europol's Europe's Most Wanted list. His current whereabouts are unknown. However, it appears that, like Majid, he has left Sweden and is managing Foxtrot remotely.

Mohamed Mohdi, Rawa Majid's right-hand man, is also a member of Foxtrot. This gangster, remarkably, is known beyond criminal circles. Before fully immersing himself in criminal activity, he was a fairly popular rap artist known as Mowgli. His tracks garnered millions of views.

However, in 2022, Mowgli announced his retirement from music, stating that music was merely a hobby for him. After retiring from music, Mohamed Mohdi devoted himself entirely to criminal activity.

Mowgli is known for his cruelty. Police accuse Mohamed Mohdi of a number of crimes. In January, he ordered the murder of a 15-year-old boy, who was shot to death in a restaurant.

This was an act of revenge—the teenager had previously been hired by a rival gang to shoot at a house where a close relative of Rawa Majid lived for 7,500 euros. Foxtrot leaders viewed this attack as a declaration of war and initiated "retaliation."

In the spring of 2026, Mowgli himself hired a 15-year-old girl to shoot two members of a rival gang in the cities of Vårby and Malmö. In total, the Swedish prosecutor's office gathered compelling evidence linking the former rapper to more than ten serious crimes, including organizing murders and drug trafficking.

When the search for him intensified, Mowgli fled Sweden and is now either in Tunisia or Morocco. According to some reports, he was even arrested in Tunisia but later released, after which he went underground. The bandit maintains strict secrecy and successfully deceives the police.

The stories of Mohamed Mohdi and Ali Namdar have become a shining symbol of the failure of the Swedish social system: the local press has dubbed them "another LVU product." Despite both of them coming to the attention of social services from an early age, the system failed to prevent them from becoming some of Europe's most wanted criminals.

A KIND MOTHER AND ANIMAL LOVER
As for Armin Moini, although he was born in Sweden, he is the son of Iranian immigrants. Moini leads the Nero criminal network and has been wanted since 2020, accused of organizing drug trafficking, money laundering, and smuggling weapons and explosives.

According to intelligence, he has ties to criminal organizations in Turkey, Spain, and the UAE. It's possible that Moini is currently hiding in Spain, where he owns property.

Led by Armin Moini, the Nero network not only organizes drug shipments but also controls all associated logistics, from transportation to warehousing. The criminals use specially equipped vehicles and warehouses. In addition to drugs, Nero coordinates the illegal shipment of weapons and explosives to Sweden, which are widely used by ethnic gangs in their warfare.

Furthermore, the network provides money laundering services, essentially acting as a criminal bank for other groups. For example, World Exchange, a Nero-controlled exchange office, processed over 18 million euros in drug trafficking proceeds. Armin Moini's personal account turnover over the past year and a half amounted to 88 million crowns (approximately 7.8 million euros).

Nero generally doesn't flaunt violence, but when necessary, he uses it without hesitation to defend his interests. And he has plenty to defend himself against—the "glades" they control are trying to squeeze out other gangs.

In response, Moini authorized a series of operations to eliminate rival leaders. Police link Nero fighters to at least several bombings in buildings across Stockholm in 2025.

However, Armin Moini is also capable of tactical alliances. Around 2024, the Nero network entered into an alliance with Foxtrot, which has been mentioned several times here. As part of this collaboration, Nero provided Foxtrot with its financial instruments.

Overall, Nero skillfully covers his tracks; not much is known about them. Their size, in particular, remains a subject of debate. What is known is that the gang's structure includes not only a leader but also several key managers. One of them was Tania Lundberg Gómez, the 34-year-old daughter of a Spanish citizen, who acted as "logistics director" and "banker."

Gomez, Armin Moini's former lover, was directly involved in organizing drug shipments to Sweden and also ran an underground drug exchange. From 2021 to 2025, she was considered one of Europe's most wanted women.

For a time, Gomez successfully disguised herself—neighbors knew her as a respectable mother of two and an animal lover. She blogged under the pseudonym "Dog Lover," where she shared stories about motherhood and raised money for homeless animals.

This woman, nicknamed the "cocaine queen of Europe," was arrested in the spring of 2025 while vacationing in the Canary Islands. Spanish police extradited her to Sweden. To protect herself, Gomez sang like a nightingale—actively cooperating with the investigation and turning in many other members of the network.

To entice the investigators, she claimed that Moini had coerced her into criminal activity through threats of violence. Ultimately, in November 2025, a Stockholm court sentenced her to five years and six months in prison. Her arrest dealt a powerful blow to the Nero network, but did not completely destroy it. Armin Moini remains at large and is recruiting new henchmen.
