Iran's Alleged Use of Swedish Gangs Stirs Fears

Published: 2024-06-11

Reports indicate that Iran may be using Swedish criminal gangs, such as the Foxtrot and Rumba networks, to execute violent acts.

This development has sparked significant concern in Finland and other Nordic countries.

Mehran Abasian, a journalist, claims he is on a death list created by Iran, prompting Swedish authorities to move him to a secret location for protection.

Israeli intelligence, Mossad, has also warned about Iran's increasing ties with criminal groups in Sweden.

Swedish Security Police (Säpo) is working closely with law enforcement to mitigate these threats.
