Foxtrot (criminal network)
Foxtrot is a criminal network in Sweden.
About the network
The leader of the network is Rawa Majid (aka the Kurdish Fox), a Swedish-Iraqi (Kurdish) criminal from Uppsala born in 1986. He has been wanted internationally for particularly serious drug-related crimes and preparation for murder since August 2020. The network consists primarily of people between the ages of 25 and 35 and includes several of Majid's relatives. The Foxtrot network has been linked to several violent incidents, including shootings and assaults. Foxtrot and Majid also have connections to a large drug ring in Östersund.[1][2]
The Foxtrot network is considered to be well organized, and has been a major concern for law enforcement agencies in Sweden. The Foxtrot network is also linked to gun crime and violence in Sweden. Nine men linked to Majid were indicted on felony drug and felony weapons charges in late December 2022.[1][3]
The Foxtrot network has been connected to a number of other suspects in organized crime, including a man who is regarded as one of Majid's closest friends. In April 2022, this man was given a prison sentence of 9 years and 6 months for serious drug offences. A man who was detained in 2021 in connection with a sizable drug trade is thought to be a third person connected to the Foxtrot network. The man is alleged to have connections to other criminal organizations in Europe and to have been involved in the importation of significant amounts of drugs from the Netherlands to Sweden. Additionally, it has been established through numerous investigations that the Foxtrot Network is allied with the Jordbro-based Bro-Network and Zero Network. People hired by the Foxtrot network and Majid have committed several violent crimes against the Dalen Network and their allies. The perpetrators were recruited from other criminal networks and were partially members of the Bro-Network or the Zero Network. the Dalen Network, which appears to be affiliated with Farsta yngre among other things, has also committed a number of violent acts against the Foxtrot network and its allies.[1][3]
Gangster rapper "5iftyy" (born 2001), originally from the Bro-Network,[4] is also linked by the Swedish police to the Foxtrot network. The rapper has also referred to the network in several songs and paid tribute to members who have been deprived of their freedom.[5][6]
