Växjö's Nätverk D: A Criminal Force

Published: 2024-09-26

In Växjö, Sweden, a criminal network known as Nätverk D has gained notoriety for its involvement in violent acts commissioned by other gangs.

This group, based in the Araby district, has been linked to at least a dozen such incidents, according to local police.

On Thursday, prosecutors are expected to charge a man connected to Nätverk D with a murder that occurred last year.

Despite the charges, the suspect denies any wrongdoing.

The network has not only taken control of the local drug trade but also operates as a hired gun for other criminal organizations across the country.

This has led to comparisons with the infamous "Dödspatrullen" or "Death Patrol.

" Community leaders, like Bakhtiar, emphasize the need for parental involvement to prevent youth from falling into crime, highlighting the broader societal impact of such networks.
