Among the gangs implicated is the Foxtrot network, known for its violence and leadership conflicts resulting in multiple killings and leaders living in exile. The Swedish intelligence services’ announcement adds a serious dimension to the accusations, highlighting the complexity of gang operations and their potential ties to international state interests.
