In Sweden, the government is overwhelmed by gang violence, to the point that it has had to call in the army.

Bombings have become commonplace in Sweden. In the town of Linköping, several apartments were blown up at the end of September. The scenario is the same in another municipality. They are often victims of a collateral war against a backdrop of drug trafficking. The situation is getting worse. Lhas particularity is that the killers or victims are often very young, even minors.

Maximum four years in prison

Some experts speak of child soldiers, frequently used remotely by two men who fled Sweden. They are two rival gang leaders fighting over trafficking drugs in the country. According to a repentant, the young people are engaging in a deadly one-upmanship. “They brag and say they are going to kill this person or another”, he says. In Sweden, the maximum prison sentence for homicide is four years for minors.
