On Tuesday evening, shots were fired at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm. On Wednesday morning, two explosions went off outside the Israeli embassy in Copenhagen. Swedish authorities held a press conference on Thursday about the shooting in Stockholm. The Swedish Security Police (Säpo) believes there are several factors that suggest Iran was involved in the shooting. – But that is an assumption. We do not comment on the investigation, says Säpo’s chief operating officer Fredrik Hallström. That’s what Svenska Dagbladet writes. Could be the Foxtrot network Who is behind the attacks has not yet been officially confirmed in either Sweden or Denmark. However, anonymous sources inform SVT and Svenska Dagbladet that the attacks must have been carried out on behalf of the criminal Foxtrot network. The attacks occurred shortly after the conflict between Iran and Israel escalated in the Middle East.

In the charge, from which Danmarks Radio refers, it also appears that the offense must have occurred following an agreement with other perpetrators. Søren Harbo, who is the prosecutor in the case, will not go into more detail about who they believe the teenagers have collaborated with. He also does not want to say whether the perpetrators may be connected to a gang environment. Claims Foxtrot works for Iran The Foxtrot network is led by Rawa Majid, also known as “The Kurdish Fox”.

At the same time, the Swedish authorities said that they were aware of the information, but that they did not want to confirm or deny it. However, the Swedish security police have confirmed that Swedish gang criminals are working on behalf of Iran. Majid stayed in Turkey for a long time, and has been internationally wanted since 2020. In October last year, a number of Swedish media learned that he was arrested on the border with Iran. The Swedish gang leader is said to have crossed the border into Iran on 6 October last year. A month and a half later, a Swedish man was shot on an open street in Moss. The shooting victim must have assisted Majid during the escape, news has previously been informed. Rawa Majid, called the Kurdish fox, is one of Sweden’s most wanted gang leaders. His network is connected to several murders and explosions in Sweden recently. Who is he and how does he work?
