The rear gang and the Ali Khan family network, which was in conflict in Gothenburg, have reached a temporary peace.
The groups must have agreed during a high-profile hotel meeting, where a group must have accepted a “fine,” according to information from Aftonbladet.
– It has been very, very quiet the last few days, says Ann-Christin Löfstrand in the police.
On Wednesday afternoon, about 40 people gathered at the Posthotellet in Gothenburg. Police were called to the scene and said it was because people were refusing to leave. They searched people and cars at the scene.
It soon became clear that it was a meeting between the criminal group operating in the Backa area and the Ali Khan family network, which is active in Angered, which in recent weeks has been in conflict with each other.

They have agreed
In recent weeks, he has referred to Gothenburg as the bastion of gang crime.
There have been several shootings. The alarms about roadblocks installed by criminals who wanted to control “their” areas raised great concern because society had completely fallen into the hands of gangs. The groups of young people with guns, bulletproof vests and communication equipment stopping and searching cars on their way to residential areas were interpreted as part of the gang conflict, but also as a show of power against the authorities who seemed powerless.
But now the conflict that was behind the events of late summer in Gothenburg must be over.

At the beginning of the week, Hjällbo residents experienced criminals taking over the area. Barricades had been set up and cars entering homes had been searched.
Reimbursed for shooting
The conversation on Posthotellet between the two criminal groups is said to have resulted in an agreement. Backagänget paid a larger sum, “a couple hundred thousand”, to the Ali Khan network as compensation for the August 12 shooting, which is said to be a prelude to the recent escalation, according to information from Aftonbladet.
The family network must have demanded a million first, which is part of what started the conflict from the beginning. According to information from Aftonbladet, the sum was committed to a six-figure amount.
Since then, no checkpoints or groups of armed men have been seen in the city. According to information from Aftonbladet, the family network has even been able to hold an annual family reunion undisturbed over the weekend.
The new harmony is confirmed by the police in the West’s duty officer, Ann-Christin Löfstrand.
– It’s been very, very quiet the last few days, he says.
