A 20-year-old man, a resident of Varberg municipality, has been charged with incitement to murder and aggravated public destruction. The man is a citizen of another EU country and now risks lifetime deportation. In the autumn, the 20-year-old asked for assignments in an encrypted chat app and offered to carry out murders and bombings for payment in Varberg and Gothenburg.
During the same period, he had a residence ban in parts of Varberg municipality, including near several schoolyards and parts of the city center. The decision was based on the police's assessment that he had a leading role in a criminal group and risked recruiting young people. In December, he is suspected of violating the ban after being present at a schoolyard and a bus terminal.
The man is now being prosecuted at Varberg District Court. The prosecutor is demanding that the man be deported from Sweden indefinitely. The man denies the crimes.
