Swedish Ambulance Mystery in Beirut Chaos

Published: 2024-09-23

In the midst of the recent chaos in Lebanon, a peculiar sight caught the attention of many: a Swedish-registered ambulance was spotted in Beirut.

This vehicle, linked to a notorious car proxy in Malmö, Sweden, has raised eyebrows.

The ambulance, a Volkswagen, bore Swedish plates that actually belong to a decommissioned Opel Combo, owned by a woman in Malmö.

This woman is reportedly connected to a man once dubbed Sweden's worst car proxy, who denies any knowledge of the vehicle.

The presence of this ambulance amidst the turmoil, where attacks have left dozens dead and hundreds injured, highlights the complex web of vehicle registration fraud.

Swedish authorities are puzzled by the appearance of their registration plates in Lebanon, but no legal actions are currently being pursued.
