During Friday, Aftonbladet was able to reveal that top-secret information handed over to Turkey was later leaked to serious criminals.
A report that would help Turkey arrest the “Kurdish fox” ended up right in the hands of the network.
– Our operation has been burned down. In practice, they become inaccessible, says a person with access to the police investigation.
A report on “Operation Yilan” has been leaked to the “Kurdish fox” – Rawa Majid – and his criminal network.
The report, drawn up by Swedish police, had been handed over at the highest level from Sweden to Turkey. It was then leaked and ended up in the hands of serious criminals. According to information to Aftonbladet, it was found during a crackdown on a leader in the Bridge Network, who cooperates with Majid, in the fall of 2022.
– The effect is that the criminals get to know what the police know about them. And that’s not good. Then they understand how the police operate against them, says a police source to Aftonbladet.
The police start at zero
That “Operation Yilan”, as the report was called, is now cleared means that the operation is burned.
– Then these people will throw away all their phones and change bank accounts. The police have to start from scratch, says the source and continues:
– So then you can change your modus operandi and avoid being caught. Which happened to Rawa Majid when he was in Iraq. There he was warned that he would be arrested.
After the leak was discovered, a Swedish police officer wrote a comment about what happened. He writes that the report was “probably” leaked in Turkey.
Aftonbladet’s source is worried about the development and fears that this leak is only the tip of an iceberg.
– Now that we know that this report has been leaked, we can assume that other reports that have been handed over have also reached them.
“Child soldiers on the streets”
In the long run, this means difficulties for Sweden to stop serious crime, says the source. If the people in Majid’s network are not prosecuted, the spiral of violence that he is suspected of being behind will continue.
– This means that we get more child soldiers on the streets in Sweden and street wars for the simple reason that they are not caught and can continue their activities. Because their business consists of supplying more drugs and more weapons and using young perpetrators who make attacks on relatives and third parties.
