A wave of violence
Sweden has never before witnessed a wave of violence similar to the one the country is facing now. The Swedish and Norwegian Justice Ministers sounded the alarm.
The crux of the conflict is the rebellion of a brutal and ruthless gang in the Foxtrot criminal network.
On one side stands Rawi Majeed, known as the “Kurdish Fox,” and on the other side stands Ismail Abdo – who until recently was said to have been one of Majeed’s closest allies.
The gang leader himself, the “Kurdish Fox”, coordinates everything from Türkiye.
The split was allegedly caused by a major drug deal gone wrong.
