Gang members in Sweden have for several years taken refuge from Swedish justice and cultivated criminal contacts along the sunny Spanish coast. In a tourist paradise like Malaga, the band of Los Suecos, los Suecos, has become a household name for the Spanish police, who have arrested several gang members and extradited them to Sweden.
When one of the leaders of Los Sueco, otherwise a Malmö resident, was arrested in Malaga this summer, Police Chief Francisco López Canedo said that “we have never experienced a more violent group.”
Police call for reinforcements
Now the Swedish gang members have gone to Barcelona. According to the Spanish newspaper Crónica Global, the police internally warn against “very violent” Swedes. The Catalan police authority, Mossos d’Esquadra, confirms the presence of criminals from Sweden.
– If we have arrested people from these groups recently? Answer yes. Have they settled here? Answer no, the police spokesman told the newspaper.
According to sources in the newspaper, several weapons have been seized from Swedish citizens. While Mossos d’Esquadra asks for caution, Crónica Global’s sources within the police have a more serious aspect.
-We have notified them internally and we have asked the investigation units for help, the source tells the newspaper.
According to the sources, the networks are “very violent and rattle with heavy weapons and explosives.”
– An incident with several arrests and blows of weapons has already taken place in the Eixample (neighborhood in the center of Barcelona, red note)says the newspaper’s police source.
Because of this, the Catalan police are now calling for extreme precautionary measures among their units and are asking for reinforcements and more information on the activity of the Swedes.
