Danish politicians blame Sweden after shooting incidents in Copenhagen.

The war of words is on. Danish politicians want to clean up Sweden.

He is afraid to go into the streets, writes the Danish newspaper The politics. He has entered Nørrebro with the “swarm of desperate teenagers from Sweden”. They are “equipped with pistols in their belts and hand grenades in their pockets”.

The Copenhagen area was called “the coolest neighborhood in the world». But he is no stranger to gang crime.

– The reason there is a little more concern now is not that there are shooting incidents, but that there is Swedish intervention. That’s where the horror is, says criminal David Sausdal.

That’s why the Swedes are afraid

Denmark is also fighting against criminal gangs. But Swedish gang crime is in a separate category. It’s about both scale and brutality in Sweden:

Boys down to age 14 are paid to be killers. The victims can be just as young. Relatives of gang members were killed in a spiral of revenge.

The exchange rate makes killing cheaper

Now circulating Swedish price lists for deadly missions in Denmark in various social media.

Criminal Manne Gerell points out that the low krone exchange rate in Sweden makes it cheaper for Danish criminals to buy services from Sweden.

For the last few months it has been 25 cases. Several of the accused are Swedish teenagers. The Minister of Justice calls them “child soldiers”.

Now the criticism comes from Denmark.

– Of course we will put pressure on Sweden so that they take responsibility for these things, said Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard recently. According to him, he expects Sweden to “clean up its mess”. TT.

he is remember it was all in 2010 he said that Sweden should be like Denmark, and tighten immigration and criminal policy.

The head of the Swedish police, Håkan Wall, admits that Sweden is characterized by groups that are very willing to resort to violence. It is used by criminals in neighboring countries.

– But that does not make Sweden responsible for all crimes in Denmark or Norway. They have their own problems, which Sweden has unfortunately been a part of, he says to the TT news agency.

Offense of exportation

Criminologist Manne Gerell at Malmö University investigates gang crime from Sweden.

– I don’t think that the criticism of Denmark is completely unreasonable, says Gerell.

Sweden produces violence and crime to the neighboring countries, he says.

– What is the problem of Swedish gang crime for neighboring countries?

– It is a big problem. Neither Norway nor Denmark have a Swedish position. But Norway has some problems and is probably where Sweden was 20 years ago. Then we created the problems entirely ourselves. In Norway, things can go faster, because Norwegian networks can get “help” from Sweden, warns Gerell.

In Norway too, the police have seen that Swedish criminals are recruited for assignments. But according to Kripos, they have no examples of young people being involved.

The Danish police believe that what is happening now is about a conflict over one or more batches of hash stolen from a criminal network. Danish outlaw gang Loyal To Familia will be one of the parties.

Police will not say who the Swedish links are. But according to SVT are the Danish bands related to the main brass in the shared Swedish network Foxtrot (see the facts).

– Too one-sided to blame Sweden

Danish criminologist David Sausdal works at Lund University. He believes that it is too easy to blame Sweden alone.

– We cannot ignore the fact that Swedish citizens perform accredited activities in Denmark, and that a large part of the blame rests with Sweden. But Danish organizations are also involved in this. They are the ones who order, says Sausdal.

He believes that a Nordic working group is needed to deal with the problem. And he believes that the most important thing is to collaborate on solutions.

– The war of words that we have now is very nationalistic. But this is the limit.

Sweden as a chopping block

Before that, Swedish politicians believed that Denmark was far too harsh in criminal and immigration policy. Now they want to copy the Danish recipe against the groups.

But Sausdal believes that there is no documentation that harsher punishments and strict “gang packages” have made Denmark more successful than Sweden. And that it is wrong to focus only on it.

– If you didn’t have Sweden as a terrible example of terror, there would have been more critical voices in Denmark. The Danes have been lucky to have had Sweden as a chopping block, says Sausdal.
