Swedish criminal networks have been linked to over 40 cases in Norway over the past four years, involving more than 100 individuals with both Swedish and Norwegian citizenships.

These cases span various crimes, including attempted murder, violent missions, and drug offenses.

Many incidents involve Swedish teenagers sent on violent assignments by criminal groups.

Norway’s organized crime unit, Kripos, has warned of increasing activity from these networks.

The issue has sparked political debate, with the Progress Party accusing the government of inaction and demanding stricter border controls and surveillance.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre defends the government’s efforts, highlighting recent measures like deploying Norwegian police to collaborate with Swedish authorities.
