In particular, it is the conflicts around Stockholm that are expected to break records this summer. Aftonbladet's source within the police states that a “blood-red summer” is on the way.

The five gang conflicts are as follows.

Foxtrot vs. Rumba
One of the most intense conflicts is the infighting within the Foxtrot network, which split into two phalanxes last summer. Rawa “Kurdish fox” Majid and Ismail Abdo lead the two sides, with Abdo's phalanx, known as Rumba, gaining ground during Majid's prison stay.

With Majid on the loose, police fear a resurgence of violence. There are suspicions that Majid will try to reconnect with old allies, which could lead to new acts of revenge, especially against the Valley Network.

Red Line
The area around Skärholmen has become a powder keg after a power vacuum that arose last year. The Vårby network, which previously controlled the area, has split and new phalanxes have been formed in Vårberg and Alby. This has resulted in several acts of violence along the red line in Stockholm during the spring.

Pepper vs. Fagersjö-Farsta
Since 2020, Peppar and the Fagersjö-Farsta network have been in conflict, triggered by a murder. Several members have recently been released from prison, increasing the risk of violence escalating again. The police fear that the networks are planning new acts of violence, including shootings and explosions.

The Södertälje network vs. Telge
The Södertälje network has been divided between the Ronna and Saltskog phalanxes for several years, with bloody conflicts culminating in 2022. Although the conflict has been dormant, the police now suspect that it may pick up again with planned acts of violence in the near future.

Visättra network vs. The Flemingsberg network
The Visättra network, which broke away from the Flemingsberg network after the assassination of a leading figure in 2021, is in conflict with its original network. The police have recently observed that masked members of the Visättra network are moving in the Flemingsberg area and behaving confrontationally. A prominent figure in the Flemingsberg network tries to stay away and only uses taxis to avoid attacks. The police assess that the conflict may escalate.

The police tell Aftonbladet that the authority works intensively to prevent and prevent serious violent crimes through intelligence-based work. Several serious crimes have already been prevented, but the police remain prepared for a summer where violence may escalate.
