Wore Nazi symbols
The 22-year-old has previously been convicted of a series of crimes. Including for incitement against a group of people in 2019 because he wore Nazi symbols during a demonstration arranged by the Nazi organization Nordic Resistance Movement, NMR.
– He was a member of the Nordic Resistance Movement. He was visible in their demonstrations, handed out leaflets and actively tried to recruit new members, says My Vingren, researcher at the Expo foundation.
But according to Expo, he left the far-right environment in the fall of 2020.
– It is clear that he then chose another, more gang-criminal environment. He has always romanticized violence, but the targets changed to above all police officers and criminals, says My Vingren.
Photographed police
The 22-year-old has also been convicted of crimes such as threatening an official, breaking the Knife Act and several drug crimes.
On one occasion, he sat in a car outside a police residence and took pictures of the policeman which he later published on social media along with full name and address details.
