Gang-Linked Strawberry Raids Shake Sweden

Published: 2024-06-16

On Thursday, authorities conducted a raid against strawberry sales linked to gang leader Ismail "The Strawberry" Abdo.

This joint operation by 16 agencies aimed to disrupt criminal profits.

Over 20 individuals, including minors, were detained on various grounds such as immigration violations.

Authorities allege that exploited individuals are smuggled or lured into Sweden with false job promises.

In response, Örebro has banned strawberry sales in Marieberg areas to combat the illicit economy.
