  "account": "On a cold afternoon last November, a 12-year-old girl got on a bus in Gothenburg with two hand grenades hidden in her sweatshirt. For over an hour she travelled 60 kilometres to carry out a job she had accepted through social media. “I don’t think they’re going to give me the money. I completely messed up,” the teenager wrote to a friend after throwing the devices without enough force against the home they had indicated as the target. She did not receive the 80,000 Swedish crowns (around €7,300) they had promised her, but nor did she receive any punishment: she was too young to be held accountable. Her case made the headlines right in the middle of a debate on whether Sweden should lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 in order to combat gang violence.",
  "summary": "El artículo de El Pais informa sobre un caso en el que una adolescente de 12 años de Gotemburgo fue acusada de llevar a cabo un ataque con granadas de mano, con el fin de recibir un pago a través de redes sociales. A pesar de no recibir el dinero y no ser culpable del delito, la niña no fue juzgada en virtud de la actual ley, ya que su edad la consideraba insuficiente para responder ante la justicia penal. Este incidente ha generado un debate en Suecia sobre si es apropiado reducir la edad de responsabilidad penal de 15 a 13 años para abordar la creciente violencia de las bandas criminales.",
