Sweden is currently experiencing an unprecedented wave of violence, and the authorities have singled out Rao Majeed, also known as the “Kurdish Fox”, as the main reason behind several assassination attempts, killings and bombings in recent weeks. On Thursday afternoon, the Social Democrats suggested that the government deploy the army to stem the wave of violence. Aftonbladet writes before 12.30.
– The government must look further TEDO agreement And take stronger action. This is not Sweden, and it should not be like this in Sweden, says party leader Magdalena Andersson.
Not getting support
She explains that this is about “the surveillance that the police are already doing today,” because Anderson believes that the armed forces have the technical expertise to contribute to stopping the ongoing wave of violence.

But Defense Minister Pal Johnson (Moderaterna) rejected Anderson’s proposal.
– The armed forces should be able to support the police in incidents such as terrorist attacks, but none of the aspects are relevant regarding these incidents, he tells the newspaper Aftonbladet.
Just over NOK 20,000 in compensation
The 37-year-old, who heads the notorious Foxtrot criminal network, is wanted internationally after escaping Sweden in 2018. He is currently in Turkey, where he has obtained Turkish citizenship and therefore cannot be extradited to Sweden. As for Majed, he has a long criminal history in Sweden, and he even received compensation twice after filing a lawsuit against the Swedish state. Expressen writes.

The Swedish newspaper reported that Majed was arrested and detained sometime between April 21 and 29, 2015. However, no charges were ever brought and the police investigation was dropped. Majed then decided to apply for compensation from…

In March 2018, Majed again received compensation. This was one month after he was released from prison on a suspended sentence.
– Harm and violation of his personal safety
Expressen states that the case concerns a matter of record. Majid and others in his circle had to pay compensation to a creditor. They ended up paying compensation to Majed, because the authorities did not close the case against him, even though he had already paid what he was owed in 2016. Expressen does not have a figure for the amount that Majed received at that time, but he received compensation because he had violated the personal data law where his case was. It remains in the authorities’ databases.
The Minister of Justice was clear in a written statement:
The judicial advisor wrote: “Rawa Majed is entitled to compensation for the damage and violation of his personal safety, which may have been caused by the incorrect processing of personal data.” According to Expressen.
