Published: 2024-05-30

Swedish security service Säpo confirmed that Iran is using criminal gangs in Sweden to carry out violent acts.

During a press conference, Säpo noted that Iranian proxies, including young individuals, are targeting other states' interests in Sweden, particularly Israel.

Mossad identified the Foxtrot and Rumba networks as collaborators with Iran, implicating their leaders in recent attacks on Israeli targets in Stockholm.

Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer highlighted the elevated terror threat level in Sweden, which stands at 4 out of 5. Swedish authorities are working to counteract these threats and ensure public safety.
