Majid, leader of the criminal Foxtrot network, has been arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of inciting murder, according to reports by Expressen. This comes after he was already in custody for a separate case involving preparation for murder.
The arrest was made due to new evidence linking Majid to the crime, as stated by prosecutor Anna Hankkio. The evidence came to light during the trial of a 19-year-old man who was sentenced to ten years in prison for carrying out the murder. A mobile phone, used by the convicted individual at the time of the murder, contained chats and information implicating Majid in inciting the murder.
The murder is believed to be the result of a conflict between the motorcycle gang Bandidos and criminal networks in Jordbro and Bro, as well as the Foxtrot network. The conflict arose from a failed drug deal between the two gangs, which was disrupted by a police seizure of narcotics. The victim of the murder, which took place in Haninge, was not involved in the conflict and was a result of a mistaken shooting.
Prosecutor Hankkio also suggested that the shooting death at a gym in Stockholm on March 28, where a man attempting to intervene was killed, may be connected to the same conflict. The intended target in that incident was also a member of the Bandidos gang.
Majid has been evading justice for several years and was reportedly arrested in Iran, according to sources within the Foxtrot network. However, Swedish authorities have not been able to confirm this information, and prosecutor Hankkio has no knowledge of Majid’s current whereabouts.
The arrest of Majid is a significant development in the investigation into these violent crimes, shedding light on the involvement and instigation of criminal networks. The prosecution will continue to gather evidence and build their case against Majid in order to bring justice to the victims and ensure public safety.
