“Several sources in the criminal environment” confirm for SVT that a man, who was previously a high-ranking member of the criminal network Foxtrot, was shot dead in Iraq.
Videos and pictures have been spread on social media and in Iraqi media a man, who is supposed to represent the former gang leader, is seen murdered in a car in Baghdad.
Started rival gangs
The man previously belonged to the top layer of the criminal network – but later started his own gang that distanced itself from the leader Rawa Majid, writes SVT.
After the fatal shooting, the man’s rivals mocked the man in a live broadcast on social media.
A suspected perpetrator has been arrested, writes SVT and refers to Iraqi media.
