Gang Leader's Symbolic Ring Fetches 66,500 SEK at Auction

Published: 2024-04-17

In a notable auction, the Swedish Enforcement Authority sold a so-called "Fox Ring" for a record 66,500 SEK, previously owned by a gang leader affiliated with the notorious Foxtrot network.

This ring, symbolizing one of Sweden's deadliest gang conflicts, garnered unprecedented interest with the highest bid vastly exceeding its initial 7,400 SEK starting price.

The auction's success is attributed to the ring's significance within criminal circles, reflecting its provenance rather than its material value.

The proceeds from the sale are designated for crime victims, fines, and the Traffic Insurance Association (TFF), underlining the auction's dual purpose of turning seized criminal assets into public funds while acknowledging its controversial nature.
