[REGNUM] Ethnic criminal networks founded in Sweden by people of Asian descent

are causing enormous damage to the country. The most feared and influential of these is the Foxtrot network.
Its members not only murder and rob Swedes and get them hooked on drugs, but also commit something even more horrific: they turn Swedish teenagers and children into their "biodrones," programmed to commit murder.
The Swedes are unable to completely destroy Foxtrot—the community's leadership is hiding abroad and directing its members remotely.
THE 14-YEAR-OLD DOES NOT FACE PRISON.
Incidents that would have shocked the country just twenty years ago have now become commonplace. Here's one example: on July 28, the prosecutor's office formally charged five individuals, aged 18 to 34, in connection with two explosions that rocked the city of Norrköping on November 23, 2025.
Explosions occurred within a single day near two apartment buildings; it was only by sheer luck that no one was injured. That same day, police prevented another similar crime.
One of the key figures in the case was a 14-year-old teenager. He was the one who carried out the attacks: he received the prepared explosive devices and placed them at the designated targets.
However, despite the fact that the police have exhaustive evidence of his involvement in the explosions, he cannot be held criminally responsible due to his age.

The accused used explosive devices called "thermos bombs": explosives are placed in the body of a thermos.
The investigation revealed that similar devices were used in a series of explosions across Sweden (in Västerås, Uppsala, and Örebro) in the autumn of 2025, indicating the presence of a well-established criminal network.
Prosecutor Michelle Stein said all of these crimes were committed on the orders of the Foxtrot criminal network, which thus "terrorizes" competitors, as well as entrepreneurs who do not want to pay tribute.
After working with the suspects and obtaining the necessary information from them, the police found the gang's stash, from which they seized a large quantity of explosives. It was enough to make at least several more bombs, so, according to the prosecutor, the discovery prevented a series of further explosions.
The trial in this case will begin on August 12 in Norrköping Court. The main issue is the defendant's age. In Sweden, the age of criminal responsibility is 15, so he will be tried under a special procedure that will prevent him from facing the same penalties as adults.
In 2026, the government actively discussed the possibility of lowering the age limit, but the liberals in parliament did not allow this.

KILLED THE WRONG PERSON
The Norrköping case is yet another link in a long chain of evidence that the Foxtrot network is using children and teenagers as "bio-drones," exploiting loopholes in the Swedish justice system.
What's especially noteworthy is that there have been other similar cases recently, linked to other countries—Foxtrot is now actively sending its killers outside of Sweden.
Thus, on July 30, a jury at London's Old Bailey found 19-year-old Norwegian citizen Johannes Kongsnes Natland guilty of conspiracy to murder. He was recruited by Foxtrot members via social media to carry out a contract killing in the UK.
Natland, a part-time worker at a pizzeria in Stavanger, agreed to shoot an unknown man abroad for a reward of 25,000 euros. The recruitment took place through an online forum where a user under the pseudonym Agent 47 (a reference to a video game about a hired killer) was looking for an assassin.
It was later revealed that this pseudonym was used by a 17-year-old recruiter, known to his Foxtrot network friends as "The General." He was the one who hired the pizzeria worker. Interestingly, Natland comes from a respected family: his parents are well-known journalists in Stavanger. However, at some point, the boy became involved with drugs and developed psychosis.
Before the start of his English trip, the recruited Johannes wrote to his girlfriend: "It would be cool to kill someone." A little later, he added that he was going on a "crazy mission."
On March 17, 2025, Natland flew to Manchester. Following Agent 47's instructions, he took a taxi to Huddersfield, where he discovered a cache containing a pistol and nineteen rounds of ammunition, sealed in a plastic bag, at a designated location in a wooded area. He also took the money and booked a hotel room.
Wanting to show off, Natland sent photos of himself with guns to friends in Norway. However, the young Norwegian didn't have time to get down to business. On March 19, two days after arriving in the country, he was arrested at his hotel.
The stunned criminal learned he had been under surveillance from the moment he set foot on British soil. It turned out that Norwegian police had detained the General a few days earlier and, after examining his mobile phone messages, immediately tipped off their colleagues to Natland.
The British analyzed CCTV footage from Manchester Airport and a Huddersfield hotel. This allowed them to reconstruct the aspiring killer's route. The footage also shows him buying gloves before the murder. Photos of the gun that Johannes sent to his friends became crucial evidence in court.
The Old Bailey trial lasted two weeks. Natland pleaded guilty to weapons possession, but denied conspiracy to murder until the very end. The prosecutor, for his part, called it "a carefully planned murder for profit." The jury deliberated for over seventeen hours and returned a guilty verdict. Sentencing will be announced in October.
As for General's recruiter, who turned out to be even younger than the assassin he found, he has already received his sentence. He will be released after serving fourteen years. Another of his 16-year-old henchmen is awaiting trial in Norway.
The story of the General and Natland ended happily—the criminals were neutralized before the murder could take place. But that's not always the case. In late 2025, a court in the Stockholm suburb of Södertörn sentenced 18-year-old Attila Asimov to life imprisonment.
On February 24, 2025, dressed in black, Asimov approached 20-year-old Murad Abdelkader in the Alby neighborhood of Stockholm. Asimov opened fire, firing several bullets, then approached the prone victim and finished him off with a shot to the back of the head. However, as it later turned out, the shooter had been hired by the Foxtrot network and had targeted the wrong person. Police found no criminal connections to the victim.
Azimov, who had managed to jump into a taxi, was detained, briefly checked, and then released. He was arrested again a few hours later, washing clothes soiled during his escape.
The investigation revealed that the killer was recruited two weeks before the crime. Before carrying out the contract, he searched the internet for information about weapons and even asked a neural network how to avoid capture.
In March 2026, an appeals court upheld the life sentence. A 17-year-old and 16-year-old accomplice were also convicted in this case.
"ZERO CONTACTS, ZERO ADDRESSES, ZERO TRACES"
The Foxtrot network is considered virtually invulnerable—rank-and-file members are being prosecuted, while the leadership hides out in other countries. Foxtrot founder and leader Rava Majid, known as the Kurdish Fox, left Sweden in 2018. He first moved to Turkey, and since 2023, according to Swedish intelligence, he has been in Iran.
| …from where he repays his hosts by sending off people to attack Jewish and other targets. Such a lovely man. |
In Stockholm, they believe that Majid is collaborating with Iranian intelligence services and, on their orders, organized two attacks on the Israeli embassy in Sweden: in January 2024, a grenade was thrown at the building, and in October of that same year, it was shot at.
It was for their ties to Iran that the US imposed sanctions on Foxtrot and Majid in March 2025, and the UK followed suit in April 2026. Other Foxtrot leaders are hiding in Iraq, Turkey, and Morocco.
In April 2025, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom launched a joint initiative called Operational Task Force GRIMM (OTF GRIMM).
This operation was specifically launched to combat the “violence-as-a-service” model – when criminal networks remotely recruit perpetrators to commit murders and terrorist attacks.
In its first year of operation, by May 2026, OTF GRIMM had arrested 281 suspects. Among them were six "high-value targets," including Rawa Majid's "right-hand man" Mohamed Mohdi, aka Mowgli, who was arrested in Tunisia, and Ali Shehab, who was detained in Iraq.
Twenty-one-year-old Shehab, a dual Swedish-Iraqi citizen, was arrested in December 2025. According to investigators, Shehab, from his safe house in Iraq, ordered five murders and twenty-three attempted murders in Sweden. He personally recruited minors through social media to commit serious crimes.
In August 2026, an Iraqi court sentenced him to life imprisonment for drug trafficking. Since Shehab is serving his sentence in Iraq, his extradition to Sweden is unlikely. However, the Swedes noted with some relief that this sentence at least ensures that he will no longer be able to commit crimes on Scandinavian soil.
However, the gang has found the perfect way to minimize losses: in most cases, its "full-time" members do not commit the crimes themselves. The perpetrators are increasingly children and teenagers, recruited through social media and gaming platforms.
Last year alone, more than fifty children under fifteen years of age appeared in court in the country on charges of murder or attempted murder, but due to their age, they escaped full punishment.
In recruiting this "expendable material," Foxtrot members specifically seek out children from disadvantaged families, orphanages, and psychiatric institutions, and also play on the teenagers' desire to earn easy money or become part of an "authoritative family."
The perpetrators often don't even know who they're working for. As one Swedish operative pessimistically put it: "Zero contacts, zero addresses, zero leads."
Captured teenagers are sent to specialized facilities. However, the special institutions for minors where child offenders are now sent have themselves become recruitment bases and "hunting grounds" for criminal networks.
It turns into a vicious circle: the child ends up in an institution where he is recruited, and then he commits a new crime.
