The “Kurdish fox” is suspected of being behind several brutal murders – while he is in Turkey.
The opposition rages against the fact that the government has not yet succeeded in having him extradited – and wants to put more pressure on Turkey.
– Such work takes place at all levelssays Gunnar Strömmer (M), Minister of Justice.
Shootings, murders and explosions succeed each other – and many of the cases recently point in one and the same direction: the “Kurdish fox”, or Rawa Majid as he really is
called.
As the 36-year-old lives in Turkey, he is difficult for the Swedish police to access.
On Tuesday, both former Justice Minister Morgan Johansson (S) and Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar criticized the government for not putting enough pressure on Turkey.
– Just solve it. No other country would have accepted that a person with so many lives on his conscience lives a life of luxury and lives like a king in Turkey and that their government does nothing, says Nooshi Dadgostar.
Streams: Work in progress
Gunnar Strömmer (M) describes the wave of violence that Majid is suspected of being behind as “terrible”.
– It is of course terrible and with brutal consequences that the entire law enforcement is doing everything possible to break, he says.
He also says that relevant ministries and authorities are working actively on the issue of having Majid extradited from Turkey.
– Yes, it is clear that such work takes place at all levels. I can’t go into detail, but there are established formats for it; partly between law enforcement authorities and ministries of justice in different countries, he says.
The relationship between Sweden and Turkey has long appeared frosty – and Strömmer does not currently want to comment on whether Sweden’s work to get the “Kurdish fox” out of Turkey will bear fruit in the near future.
– I don’t want to speculate on that, but we won’t give up until we finish.
