Eight spectators made their way onto the pitch at Bravida Arena in connection with Aiham Ousou being sent off against Malmö FF. Five were immediately identified and there BK Häcken’s board has decided on organizer suspensions.
A police report has been made and a preliminary investigation is underway. It is about a suspected violation of the Public Order Act, trespassing on the playing field without authorization.
When GP interviewed Aiham Ousou on Tuesday, he said that he did not know any of the people who entered from section J at Bravida Arena (where, among other things, people who get free tickets usually sit).
– No, I don’t know any of the people, I would say, said Aiham Ousou.
In the same interview, Aiham Ousou confirmed that he had given out free tickets:
– Tickets are distributed. But I haven’t distributed to everyone.
But to some?
– To someone, yes.
Now GP can show that one of the spectators who jumped in is a relative of Aiham Ousou.
To the direct question of whether this is the case, he answers:
– I choose not to comment on it.
For what reason?
– I think it’s wrong, the whole incident. I think it’s something I can’t influence. I want to focus on what I can influence, and that was the action towards the fans. That’s why I don’t want to comment too much on that incident, says Aiham Ousou to GP.
Said to belong to a criminal network
Several of the people who jumped into the plan are well known to the police from before. The review shows that a couple of them are said to belong to a criminal network:
• Man in his 30s with connections to the M-phalanx in Frölunda. Was detained for a short period, suspected of aiding and abetting a high-profile murder, but was later released. He is previously convicted in an assault case together with Ousou’s relatives.
• A 24-year-old man, who, according to the police, figures on the fringes of the M-phalanx, has also previously been sentenced together with the next of kin.
• Man in his 20s who was recently sentenced in the district court to a long prison sentence for serious weapons crime and extortion of over half a million kroner. However, was later acquitted in the Court of Appeal. The man, who has previously been convicted of violent crime, is said to have ties to a local network that occasionally cooperated with the M-phalanx.
These three men are identified by the police via extensive photographic material.
Jodin: Hope to identify all eight
BK Häcken’s club manager Marcus Jodin answers GP’s questions.
How do you see someone close to Aiham Ousou jumping into the field?
– We have no comment on that, but must refer it on to the police.
Among those who jumped in are people who can be linked to criminality at various levels?
– It is difficult for us to comment on parts of it. We can refer that information to the police. We have not received complete information. It will be wrong of us to comment before we have enough facts on the table.
How is your work progressing?
– Our hope is that we will be able to identify and shut down all the people who were inside the plan. At the moment, there are five people who will be suspended as organizers with immediate effect. The five people who are identified will be banned from all BK Häcken’s events. But we hope to identify all eight who jumped in. We have good hopes of also being able to shut down those who were not identified on the spot. There were five people who were identified immediately, but we also hope to be able to identify the others via camera footage, says Marcus Jodin.

The scandalous scenes at Bravida Arena started with Aiham Ousou applauding the Malmö FF heel in connection with a substitution. Something he received his second yellow card for and was sent off instead of being substituted.
Ousou then got into a dispute with players on the MFF bench on his way off the field. In connection with that, the unauthorized spectators jumped into the infield to move towards the situation.
In Sportbladet, the agent Masireh Jadama from the controversial agent network Universal twenty two, who represents Aiham Ousou, speaks out. Jadama denies there that the people who jumped into the plan have any connection to the network.
– Absolutely not, replies Masireh Jadama.
Had meetings about security
According to GP’s information, several of the people have moved in both press and VIP areas at Bravida Arena in connection with other matches.
Club manager Marcus Jodin has previously commented on the matter for GP:
– We have checked the names and those who are identified are not on any accreditation lists from us. We have gone through all the scouting and media accreditations that have been. In any case, they are not there, said Marcus Jodin.
How did they gain access to this stand?
– We don’t know that at the moment. But we look through via ticket systems and the like.
Will you change your security work?
– We constantly try to follow the permissions we get from the police. But it is clear that we have sat and discussed today what we could have done differently. A football arena consists of many hundreds of meters to cover. Someone with the intention of entering the field unfortunately often succeeds in entering. There are many examples of that. But as always when things happen, you should evaluate and see if we could have done something differently, said Marcus Jodin.
Richard Fagerberg, head of the preliminary investigation at the local police in Hisingen, does not want to answer any questions but refers to the confidentiality of the preliminary investigation.
