According to what news learns, it is the well-known gang leader Ismail Abdo, known as “Jordgubben”, that the police now want to get hold of. – This Turkish citizen is now at large. We want to have him arrested following an international arrest warrant, and have him extradited to Norway. It is to investigate the case further and establish his role in the case, says Schøyen. Vibeke Schøyen, head of prosecution in the East police district, will not comment on what role they believe the Turkish citizen they want to call for had in the shooting. Photo: Mathias Revheim-Rafaelsen / news Four people have already been arrested in the case. One has been released, while three are still in custody. On Tuesday, a fifth person was arrested in Sweden. The person concerned has been requested to be extradited to Norway, the police inform news. Helped the “fox” to escape Schøyen will not comment on what role the police believe the Turkish citizen or any of the other accused have had in the shooting. However, the police have previously said that they have “clear indications” that the shooting was ordered from Sweden. The police have a theory that the victim was tricked into going to the crime scene, news has been informed. Ismail Abdo was previously a close confidant and good friend of Rawa Majid, the leader of the Foxtrot network. URIX September 27: 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? Abdo and Majid, known as “The Kurdish Fox”, have subsequently become bitter enemies. The conflict contributed to September last year being one of the bloodiest months in Swedish history. news has previously written that the man who was shot in Moss must have assisted Majid when he fled from Turkey to Iran in October last year. – To what extent do you see it as part of the motive for this shooting? – In this case, as in all other cases, motive can be important. I have no further comments on that, other than that we of course want to map out the motive in the case, says Schøyen. Abdo’s mother killed The conflict between Majid and Abdo is said to have arisen, among other things, after a large drug deal that went wrong. Among other things, Majid incurred a large debt after the drugs he had bought on credit were seized by the police. According to SVT’s crime expert, Diamant Salihu, this is only one of many factors in a long history of disagreements in the criminal network. In September, shots were fired at several Swedish gang criminals who were staying in Turkey. “The Kurdish fox” is said to have been the target of this shooting. SVT’s crime expert, Diamant Salihu.

Two people were arrested shortly after the murder, one of them under the age of 18. – This has led to an escalation, a blood feud, which has been going on in Sweden. Even today, Ismail Abdo is seen by the police as a key player in the acts of violence in Sweden, says Salihu. The issue of whether relatives of rivals are legitimate targets has been one of the issues that has long divided the Foxtrot network. – All this together with more money, more power, and more hubris, then it happened, as it often does in these disloyal environments, a division and a development of violence that we not only see in Sweden, but which we now also see in Norway, and to and with Denmark. In the street outside the house where Ismail Abdo’s mother was killed, there was a withered bouquet of flowers when news visited the place last September. news visited the otherwise quiet neighborhood in Uppsala last September. – What do the police think about this Swedish conflict suddenly unfolding in Norway? – As we see it, the residents are very safe in the East police district. These are matters we take very seriously, and we invest a lot of resources. Such matters are a priority, says Schøyen. More charged Six people have thus far been charged in the case. The defense attorneys for the first four accused have stated that their clients deny criminal guilt. It is not known how the fifth person arrested or Ismail Abdo reacts to the charges. Through the investigation into the shooting in Moss, it has become clearer to the police that Swedish criminals are operating in the district. Thomas Stærk, head of the joint unit for intelligence, investigation and prevention, says it has become clearer to them that Swedish criminals are heavily present in the East police district.

So says Thomas Stærk, head of the joint unit for investigation, prevention and intelligence in the East. – Several Swedish criminal actors both reside in and operate in the police district. They travel through the police district and they commit serious crimes in the police district, says Stærk. Published 25.06.2024, at 18.56
