Sweden | Israeli intelligence: Iran has recruited two Swedish criminal groups to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe before the Olympics

of Israel according to the Mossad intelligence service, Iran has recruited two Swedish criminal groups to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe before the Paris Olympics. They tell about it The Jerusalem Post and Dagens Nyheter. The Paris Olympics are from 26 July to 11 August.

The Swedish government, the security police Säpo and the police’s operational department Noa organized a press conference in Stockholm on Thursday evening due to the Mossad information.

“Säpo can confirm that Swedish criminal networks act as subcontractors or middlemen that Iran takes advantage of,” Säpo’s head of counterintelligence Daniel Stenling said at the press conference According to Dagens Nyheter.

The leaves according to a joint Mossad source, it is about the Foxtrot gang and its rival Rumba group. According to the Mossad, earlier this month Rumba made an assassination attempt on an “Israeli target” at the behest of Iran.

According to the Mossad, Foxtrot’s connections with Iran were again traced when the authorities investigated the grenade attack on the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on the last day of January. Newspaper Expressen said earlier that the security police Säpo suspected the Granängsringen criminal network in the attack.

Foxtrot and Rumba clashes caused a large wave of violence in Sweden last year. “Kurdikettu” leading Foxtrot ie Rawa Majid fled to Turkey and led the Rumba gang leader Ismail Abdun fight against from there.

When Sweden demanded Majid’s extradition, he was transferred to Iran last September. Swedish television according to the Iranian police arrested the fugitive as soon as he had crossed the Iranian border.

Mossad according to the information, Majid has therefore been pressured or bribed into Iran’s service. In addition, Israeli intelligence claims that the grenade attack on the Israeli Embassy in Belgium last weekend was an operation organized by Iran.

According to Mossad’s view, Iran’s intelligence service Vevak increasingly uses European criminal groups as its “subcontractors”, so that it is not associated with terrorist acts in a way that harms Iran’s foreign relations.
