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 the most prominent criminal organizations in Sweden, with Rawa Majid, often referred to as the "Kurdish Fox," at its helm. Majid, along with several other key figures, is reported to have relocated abroad. The ongoing gang conflicts in Sweden are largely attributed to divisions within this network, which Swedish law enforcement agencies have classified as having a "very high" potential for violence.

These sanctions reflect broader concerns about the influence of organized crime and its potential links to international entities, highlighting the complexities of addressing such issues within Sweden and beyond.
