The police have raided several addresses linked to Mustafa Aljiburi’s phalanx “La Liga”, according to information to Aftonbladet.
Now around twenty people are under arrest – including four young people who were arrested in Avesta yesterday.
The police believe they have stopped several planned murders.
During the autumn, Sweden was shaken by an intense wave of violence. A large number of the crimes are linked to the network war within Foxtrot.
But recently, the police have struck and stopped several crimes that are suspected to have been linked to the conflict, according to Aftonbladet’s information.
Among other things, the police allegedly directed an effort against the breakaway phalanx “La liga”, which was controlled by the now-murdered gang leader Mustafa “Benzema Aljiburi, 34.
Since the end of the year, the police have reportedly arrested around twenty people who are believed to be connected to the phalanx in various ways.
Details: Stopped several murders
A large part of the people now arrested are said to be natives of Dalarna. The police now believe that they may have stopped several serious crimes – including murder, above all in Stockholm but also in other smaller towns in Sweden.

It is also believed that the suspects have worked on assignments from higher-ups in the phalanx, and for people based abroad.
During the operation, the police must have seized a large number of automatic weapons, ammunition and narcotics in various places in the country.
Details: Four young people arrested
Last Wednesday, the police raided several addresses in Avesta. According to information, four people – two women and two men – in their 20s have been arrested.

The man is convicted of money laundering. The other man is completely unpunished.
Connects to the spiral of violence
According to the police, the operation in Avesta had been planned for a long time.
Martin Öhman, head of the Falun local police area, commented on it yesterday.
– It has been preceded by a long period of work and several people have been arrested, he said then.
However, he did not want to comment on how many had been arrested, or what they were suspected of. Furthermore, he also said that the operation had a connection to the ongoing spiral of violence in the country.
– The effort is part of a larger work. Although this problem has mainly affected the metropolitan regions, it is a concern throughout the country.
He also did not want to comment on whether the bet is connected to “La liga” or Foxtrot.
