Meldinger avslører kriminelt nettverk: – Ekstremt provoserende

E24 Norway has reported on a criminal network operating across the borders between Norway and Sweden, revealing how the network attempts to swindle ordinary Norwegians and the tax authorities, sell narcotics, and move money out of the country. The network has connections to the Swedish gangtopp Ismail "Jordgubben" AbdoGjengleder, who was released from Foxtrot in 2023 and leads the police have dubbed the Rumba network.

Justisminister Astri Aas-Hansen, after reading E24's story, says it demonstrates the link between organized crime and financial crime, and that it highlights the need for the government to prioritize efforts against criminal networks and economic crime. She notes that the case shows the extent of the government's responsibility to prioritize action against criminal networks and financial crime, and that it is a significant societal challenge.
