In a significant move to combat organized crime, Sweden and Denmark have announced a joint effort to pressure digital platforms like TikTok and Telegram.

The initiative aims to curb the recruitment of young individuals into violent gangs through social media.

Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer and his Danish counterpart Peter Hummelgaard emphasized the need for tech companies to take greater responsibility in preventing criminal activities on their platforms.

The collaboration follows a series of violent incidents involving Swedish teenagers in Denmark.

Both nations are committed to intensifying information exchange and strengthening ties with third countries to tackle the leadership of criminal gangs.

This partnership marks a new chapter in the Nordic fight against gang-related violence.
