According to Swedish security services, there are confirmed links between Iranian intelligence and Swedish criminal gangs.

Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, claims that Swedish gangs Foxtrot and Rumba are working with Iran.

Experts warn that intelligence agencies are usually cautious about leaking information, but this may be a genuine case.

Rouzbeh Parsi from the Swedish Institute of International Affairs states that Iran has a history of similar activities in other countries.

The revelations have led to diplomatic tensions between Sweden and Iran.
