Sanctions Imposed on the Foxtrot Network

The United States has announced sanctions against Rawa Majid, a Swedish-Kurdish gang leader, and the Foxtrot network, citing alleged connections to Iranian authorities. This information was disclosed in a statement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

The Foxtrot network is recognized as one of Sweden's most prominent criminal organizations, with Rawa Majid, often referred to as the "Kurdish Fox," at its helm. Majid, along with several other key figures, has reportedly relocated abroad. A significant portion of the gang conflicts in Sweden is attributed to internal divisions within this network. Swedish law enforcement agencies have classified the group as having a "very high" potential for violence, underscoring the ongoing challenges posed by organized crime in the region.
