A Swedish gang criminal has been deported from Norway for life without having been convicted in the country, according to multiple reports. This is the first time ever that Norwegian authorities, on the advice of the police, have deported a person based on new directives from the Ministry of Justice and Emergency Preparedness, as reported by major media. The Swede was not convicted in Norway but was investigated in about ten criminal cases, including serious threats, where his connection to the Foxtrot network was central, major media states.
A Swedish man with connections to the Foxtrot network is banned from Norway—forever, according to reports. The new directives came into effect at the turn of the year, major media indicates. To be deported, a person must be assessed to pose a particularly significant threat due to connections to a criminal network, as per the directives.
He has an extensive criminal history.
The decision was made on February 20, according to major media. Last year, 58 convicted persons were deported from Norway, reports show. According to Expressen, Rune Solberg Swahn described the deported man as having an extensive criminal history.
The specific crimes he was investigated for in Norway beyond serious threats have not been detailed, and the exact nature of his connection to the Foxtrot network remains unclear. Additionally, the identity of the deported Swedish man and what legal recourse or appeal options he may have are unknown.
