Rapper kidnapped and humiliated – video goes viral, according to police

In the video that is being circulated in the underworld, the young man is seen bloodied and tied behind – and subjected to humiliating treatment.

Now the police are investigating the kidnapping case against the rapper.

– We have no suspects or detainees, says Fredrik Svedemyr, press spokesperson at the police.

In the video, according to the police, the young man can be seen bloody on his face and over his body.

He is tied behind and subjected to particularly humiliating treatment by the perpetrators. Weapons are also held up to his neck.

Investigating kidnapping

The case is now being investigated by the police, who have launched an investigation into suspected serious illegal identity theft, serious assault, unlawful detention and serious assault.

– We have an ongoing preliminary investigation against the background of the distribution of the clip, says Fredrik Svedemyr, press spokesperson at the police in the West region.

According to Aftonbladet’s information, the exposed man is supposed to be a rapper and the case is being investigated by the police in Gothenburg.

Fredik Svedemyr cannot say if the film is believed to have been recorded in the Gothenburg area or not, or if the person in the video has a connection to the area.

– I have no information about that either, but I can only state that we have this investigation in Gothenburg, says the press spokesperson.

Has always existed

Humiliation robbery is not a new phenomenon among criminals. Whether they are increasing or not is unclear, but in many cases both perpetrators and victims have been very young people, according to criminologist Sven Granath.

– There has always been an element of humiliation in violent crimes, when a group targets lonely or inferior victims. We also see it in crimes without financial elements. Humiliation robbery is not a clearly defined crime category. It can be robberies that get out of control or outright assaults where you decide to take things from the victim, criminologist Sven Granath previously told Aftonbladet.

What kind of youths commit indecent robberies?

– There are young guys who are unsuccessful in many other arenas in society. They have a low status – but they can use violence. They often have an insecure family situation and a broken school situation, many of them have personality disorders.
