"Police said the man was considered a so-called "high value target" in the Swedish-led operation "Grimm" countering the surge of "violence as a service", referring to the online recruitment of individuals often minors to carry out violent acts. Those orchestrating the acts are often located abroad. The Foxtrot criminal network was formed in the late 2010s around Majid and has been connected to dozens of violent crimes in Sweden."
Swedish police reported the arrest in Tunisia of a man around 30 years old suspected of multiple violent crimes, including murder. The arrest followed close cooperation between Swedish and Tunisian law enforcement and was described as strategically important for weakening the Foxtrot criminal network. Police identified the suspect as a high-value target in the Swedish-led operation Grimm aimed at countering “violence as a service,” including online recruitment of individuals, often minors, to carry out violent acts from abroad. Foxtrot formed in the late 2010s around Rawa Majid and has been linked to dozens of violent crimes centered on Stockholm and Uppsala. Sweden has faced ongoing gang violence tied to score-settling and drug-market control.
