Danish gangs recruit ‘child soldiers’ from multicultural Sweden

Posted on by Vaseline

Criminal gangs in Denmark have begun recruiting “child soldiers” from Sweden to carry out attacks, with 25 such cases recorded in the past four months alone.

This week, Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard revealed that gangs such as the Loyal To Familia (LTF), led by Pakistani-born mafioso Shuaib Khan, have begun outsourcing criminal acts such as shootings and grenade attacks on the streets of Denmark to “child soldiers” from neighboring Sweden.

According to the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), Hummelgaard said authorities have registered at least 25 cases of young people from Sweden being used by criminal networks in Copenhagen and other cities.

“Criminal gangs in Denmark have hired Swedish child soldiers – that’s what I call them – to carry out criminal acts,” the Justice Minister said.

“It is very disturbing that this can happen at all, and it is very disturbing that this is now happening in Denmark.”

According to Hummelgaard, police believe that most of the crimes outsourced to the “child soldiers” are part of an ongoing gang conflict between Loyal To Familia and another, currently unidentified, criminal network operating in Denmark.

LTF was banned as an organisation in 2018 and its leader, Shuaib Khan, was expelled from the country after being convicted of murder. However, the gang remains active, with Khan pulling the strings from abroad.

“If we try to ban some criminal gangs through a judgment, we should not delude ourselves that the group will disappear. It is one of many tools we can use to keep them in check and make their lives miserable. But they will not disappear,” Minister Hummelgaard said.

“Right now there is a conflict going on between people who are in Iraq, Lebanon, Dubai, Turkey and all sorts of other exciting places and with the help of Swedish henchmen, they are having a conflict with each other on the streets of Denmark. Of course we will not tolerate that,” he added.

Sociologist and expert on Danish gangs Aydin Soei said that because LTF members are closely monitored by authorities, it is more practical for the gang to outsource crimes to young people from Sweden as “cannon fodder.”

According to Swedish journalist Diamant Salihu, Danish gangs are using social media to recruit their child soldiers from Sweden. They place ads on social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat, but also on encrypted messaging services like Telegram and Signal.

He said emojis are often used to describe desired crimes, with an apple representing an attack with a hand grenade and a water pistol representing ordered murder.

While Sweden used to be one of the most peaceful countries in Europe, the past decade of mass migration has radically changed society, with one in five people in the country now born abroad. This has coincided with the rise of gang warfare, with rampant bombings and shootings.

In response, the Stockholm government has in a stunning U-turn abandoned its open-border policy, with more people expected to leave the country than arrive this year, driven by the departure of Iraqis, Syrians and Somalis coupled with a reduction in the number of people allowed into the country. Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said this week that “Sweden has stopped being an asylum-immigration country.”
