A gang leader from Örebro has been sentenced to six years in prison for planning to kill two people in 2020, according to reports from Nerikes Allehanda and Aftonbladet. The man, identified as the alleged leader of the Örebrokartell criminal network, was convicted of preparation for murder and serious weapons offenses.
The sentencing stems from a long-running conflict between two criminal networks in the Örebro region - the Örebrokartell and No Surrender. According to court documents, the gang leader was motivated by revenge following the murder of his brother in 2020. The planned killings were reportedly scheduled to occur in July and August of that year.
Court records indicate the man acquired weapons, ammunition, and an apartment as part of the murder planning. In total, six people were sentenced for their involvement in the murder plans. The five additional defendants received prison sentences ranging from two and a half years to eight years.
The background to the case involves a conflict between the two gangs that has been marked by murders, attempted murders, and explosions across the country over several years, according to the reports.
