UPDATE: A Syrian, and just part of the saga of Muslim gangs infesting Sweden; details here.
Sweden has the EU's highest rate of brutal gun violence per capita in 2023. In the last month of 2024, 40 people have been shot dead in Sweden -- a chilling number for a European country of only 10-million people, according to a Reuters report.
Gangs are not new to Sweden. It has seen violent gang rivalries between gangs like Los Bandidos and Hells Angels since the 90s. These gangs could be easily identified because of their members' sunglasses, leather jackets and Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
But the older gang wars look like an "age of innocence", in comparison to now, reported The UK Express.
The new gangs are made up of immigrants from the Middle East and Balkan nations. The violence has become deadlier and lot more frequent.
Criminologist Ardavan Khoshnood, an associate professor at Lund University, traces the gang violence to the turn of this century.
"At the beginning of the 2000s, we started witnessing more street gangs and more ethnic criminal groups. They mainly started to grow in areas we call ‘vulnerable’ with a lot of unemployment, low education, and socio-economic status. Today, criminals have taken over that society to quite a high degree. When these gangs started to come to power they developed different territories and got very quickly deep into drug trafficking," said Khoshnood.
