Police and prosecutors have singled out the 26-year-old as the driving force behind the gang conflict in Kalmar.
He is connected to the Foxtrot network and also previously belonged to the Norrliden gang in Kalmar. Now he is sentenced to prison for 11 years and 8 months for, among other things, incitement to attempted murder in one case, and incitement to preparation for murder in another. Both assassination missions must have been planned to be carried out in Kalmar.

The gang conflict in Kalmar: This has happened
Today comes the verdict in the big gang trial in Kalmar
He is also convicted of having organized an arms transport to Sundsvall, but is acquitted of the charge of aiding and abetting the preparation of a murder in the same city.
– There is a lack of supporting evidence, that is to say that the prosecutor has not been able to prove that part, says the president of the court.
The 26-year-old has, according to the prosecutor, controlled his underlings in Sweden from Spain.
– The case is special because the main perpetrator was abroad. The encrypted chats and voice messages have been the backbone of the prosecution, says the president of the court.
Assassination mission gone wrong
Two other young men are also sentenced to prison for, among other things, serious weapons offenses and drug offences. One of them must also be deported.
A fourth person, a 23-year-old, is sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for taking the assignment from the gang leader to kill a member of the Norrliden gang in Kalmar for compensation. But something went wrong and the planned assassination was never completed.
All four in the case must be detained until the prison sentences are carried out.
Key certificate
It is an extensive investigation – the preliminary investigation is over 9,000 pages long. Part of the evidence in the Kalmar case has been a seized mobile phone from the hired shooter, who failed in the attempt to kill the member of the Norrliden gang.
It was thanks to the mobile phone that the police got hold of recorded conversations in which the 26-year-old leader can be heard talking about the failed assassination mission.
But the defense has always claimed that the prosecution rests on a fragile foundation. The defense believes that it is not clear who has spoken in the various communication channels.
