The arrest of Mohamed "Moewgli" Mohdhi in Tunisia marks a significant victory for Swedish law enforcement in their ongoing battle against organized crime. Mohdhi, a key figure in the Foxtrot network, was apprehended thanks to international cooperation, a strategy that Swedish authorities have been aggressively pursuing.
This development underscores the global reach of Swedish criminal organizations and the challenges they pose. Foxtrot, under the influence of Rawa Majid, has been linked to serious crimes, including murders and attacks on diplomatic missions, allegedly orchestrated with the backing of the Iranian regime. This international dimension, where criminal networks act as proxies for foreign powers, is a particularly concerning aspect for Swedish security.
In the fourth episode of En gรฅng brรถder [SVT's documentary series on gang wars], we cover exactly what we are discussing now and examine attacks organized in 2024 on embassies and also on companies in Gothenburg that the clerical regime in Iran considers hostile. We know of six major attacks that can be directly attributed to Foxtrot and that the clerical regime has ordered.
Diamant Salihu, a SVT expert on Swedish gangs, has previously highlighted how Swedish police are increasingly sending delegations abroad to secure the arrests of wanted individuals. This proactive approach, involving collaboration with authorities in countries like Tunisia, Morocco, and Turkey, is crucial for dismantling these networks. The success in apprehending Mohdhi validates this strategy and signals a potential turning point in the fight against the escalating gang violence that has plagued Sweden.
The police have achieved great success recently, for example, by sending delegations to other countries with the aim of facilitating the arrest of key figures there.
