The United States announced the imposition of sanctions on the Swedish Foxtrot Criminal Group and its leader Rawa Majida on Wednesday. They call the US criminal network as one of “the most famous Swedish criminal gangs” and accuse of implementing attacks against Israeli interests in Europe on behalf of Iran. TASR informs this based on the AFP report.
According to the US Department of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “he cooperated with the Iranian Ministry of News and Security”. “The indifferent use of multinational criminal organizations and Iran’s drug traders emphasizes the efforts of the regime to achieve its goals by any means, regardless of the price for communities throughout Europe,” The US Finance Minister Scott Bessent said.
Sanctions usually include freezing assets and ban on joining the US And they were released in accordance with the renewed campaign of “maximum pressure” of US President Donald Trump against Iran.
The Swedish news service Sapo announced last May that Iran, according to her, recruited members of Swedish criminal gangs to commit “violent acts” against Israeli and other interests in Sweden.
Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter at that time, referring to the Israeli Intelligence Service Mossad, stated that Majida was detained in Iran. If he did not cooperate with Tehran, he would go to prison. The newspaper also informed that The same fate was also affected by members of the Rival Swedish gang Rumba.
The Israeli Embassy in Stockholm has recently faced repeated attacks, which, according to the authorities, are worth criminal groups. In recent years, Sweden has been struggling with rapidly growing violence of gangs and shooting and bombings are gradually increasingly occurring across the country.
