瑞典被称为“黑帮天堂”，因为这个斯堪的纳维亚国家正在努力遏制不断上升的暴力犯罪浪潮。
多年来，瑞典一直在应对暴力帮派战争，犯罪组织使用武器和爆炸装置争夺武器和毒品贩运的控制权。
瑞典国家警察局长本周表示，在一周发生多起枪击事件（其中多起死亡事件）之后，帮派冲突给瑞典带来了“前所未有”的暴力激增。
据《每日电讯报》报道，昨晚，瑞典仅八天内就有第六人（一名儿童）被枪杀。
去年，瑞典警方记录了 90 起爆炸事件和 101 起未遂爆炸袭击事件，今年已记录了 100 多起爆炸事件。
当乌克兰“完蛋”时，普京的盟友“威胁要攻击瑞典和丹麦”
《旁观者》杂志的编辑弗雷泽·纳尔逊（Frazer Nelson）的妻子是瑞典人，他在 X（以前的 Twitter）上写道：“昨晚，瑞典又有一名儿童被枪杀：这是八天内发生的第 6 起致命枪击事件。
“其黑社会战争——以及招募年仅十岁的‘儿童兵’——在欧洲是史无前例的。”

当我的妻子第一次从斯德哥尔摩搬来时，她花了一段时间来适应犯罪行为。 刺伤事件发生后，黄色警察标志呼吁目击者，这会让她感到害怕。 晚上出去冒险时，她会穿戴好工具，就像准备战斗一样。 时代已经变了。 在伦敦这个人口与瑞典大致相当的城市，去年春季前的六个月内没有人被枪杀。 在接下来的六个月里，斯德哥尔摩西南半小时车程的南泰利耶市有四人被枪杀。
从那时起，事情变得更糟了。 圣诞节那天爆发了一场黑帮战争，交战派系在城市中肆虐，其方式更像是 20 世纪 30 年代的芝加哥，而不是当代的斯堪的纳维亚半岛。 歹徒用炸弹互相警告； 刺客互相射杀。 去年发生了 61 起致命枪支袭击事件，是丹麦、芬兰和挪威三国总和的六倍。 根据瑞典法律，年龄足够小的儿童可以免受起诉，但越来越多的儿童被派去实施袭击。
对于我们这些放大或缩小瑞典全国辩论的人来说，最引人注目的方面是语言。 本来应该让整个国家感到震惊的事件现在却被报道为日常生活的一部分。 “对我来说，这已经变得很正常了，”上周末在斯德哥尔摩郊区斯科戈斯的一个购物中心发生了一名 15 岁青少年被谋杀案后的一份报告中援引一位目击者的话说。 “这已经是第三次或第四次发生了，而且发生在购物中心附近，所以并没有那么令人震惊。”
瑞典为世界带来了斯堪的纳维亚黑色小说。 现在，真正的犯罪正在占据主导地位——通过播客、书籍和报道，揭露一个全国范围内的谋杀之谜，让整个国家陷入困境。 为什么是瑞典？ 为什么这么糟糕？ 为什么是孩子？ 为什么情况越来越糟？ 是的，在 2015 年的庇护浪潮中，瑞典接纳了创纪录数量的各种犯罪分子。但德国接纳的人数更多，而且没有这样的问题。 近年来，瑞典警方的预算增加了 75%，但仍在亏损。 更糟糕的是，他们不知道如何获胜。
斯德哥尔摩警察局长马克斯·阿克沃尔本周早些时候谈到了此事。 他说，关押一名帮派头目会造成真空，导致敌对派系之间发生暴力权力斗争（警方统计有 52 个帮派）。 因此会有更多的炸弹、枪支和谋杀。 所以这不是几个大佬的问题。 这是整个暴力亚文化的出现，是瑞典自由移民和刑事司法体系无意中培育出来的。
“我们现在在瑞典有了平行的社会，”玛格达莱娜·安德森(Magdalena Andersson)去年失去首相权力之前说道。 “我们生活在同一个国家，但现实却完全不同。” “禁区”一词在瑞典颇有争议，但肯定适用于当局（甚至救护人员）因害怕袭击而无法前往的社区。
瑞典长期以来一直将自己视为“人道主义超级大国”，它对移民的慷慨曾经接纳了我妻子的父母，他们在 1968 年布拉格之春后逃离了苏联。 我在斯德哥尔摩出生的妻子被教授了一种“家庭语言”——捷克语——尽管瑞典是她的家。 这也解决了另一个问题：瑞典对寻求庇护者的慷慨接纳，与他们融入社会方面一直存在的问题相媲美。
也许衡量融合的最佳标准是非本地人和本地人之间的失业率差异。 在英国，这个数字可以忽略不计，但瑞典的差距是发达国家中最严重的（15% vs 4%）。 如果你允许人口走私者将数以万计的寻求庇护者（通常是男性）涌入一个无法吸收他们的系统，那么你就会挤满城镇边缘的庄园，那里有组织犯罪是大生意。
德国和英国的警察更习惯于对付外来的坏人——圣战分子和其他各类恐怖分子——而且我们的法律更加严厉。 瑞典法院一直更关心罪犯，尤其是年轻人的福祉。 几年前，通过了一项法律，宣布逮捕、拘留或监禁 18 岁以下的任何人只能“作为最后手段”。 这让歹徒们很高兴，他们很快就以此为许可，使用儿童作为他们的步兵。
警方表示，因帮派暴力而被捕的人中，大部分是儿童，目前约有 1,200 名所谓的“儿童兵”在逃。 在英语中
在瑞典，承担刑事责任的年龄是10岁。在瑞典，这一年龄是15岁：低于该年龄的人不得被判处任何处罚。 斯德哥尔摩圣诞节后谋杀案后的突击搜查中被捕的人中有一半是学龄儿童。 他们的标志性武器是保温瓶炸弹：自制并装在烧瓶中，在孩子的手中看起来并不可疑。
“儿童兵”的出现让瑞典报纸的阅读变得更加超现实。 《Aftonbladet》上周报道称，“公寓楼遭到超过 25 枪射击”。 “警方正在研究肇事者朝错误的门开枪的理论。 另一名 15 岁青少年已被拘留。”
几天前，“一名 13 岁和一名 14 岁的青少年在斯德哥尔摩南部的 Hammarbyhöjden 因使用自动武器犯罪而在最后一刻被阻止。”
瑞典迟迟没有允许警方窃听手机，迟迟才对 19 岁的杀人犯判处无期徒刑。 前首席检察官莉斯·塔姆 (Lise Tamm) 抱怨整个系统“天真”。 她说，“因为我们保护罪犯的正直而忽视受害者”，成千上万的正派人士陷入困境。
你可以看到她的沮丧。 人们纷纷呼吁修改法律，但整个国家是否必须放弃其自由价值观来适应新的犯罪少数群体？ 但话又说回来，瑞典已经没有选择了。 总体而言，其犯罪率仍约为欧洲平均水平，但就这种特定类型的犯罪——剥削儿童、热水瓶炸弹和黑帮枪击——而言，它已成为发达国家最严重的犯罪率之一。
因此，瑞典闻名的同情心——我自己的大家庭中的许多成员都对此深表感激——已经开始滋生最严重的犯罪行为。 我的预感是，这个神奇的国家最终会找到摆脱困境的出路。 但与此同时，它向世界提供了一个关于什么是不该做的案例研究。

移民黑手党团伙正在瑞典街头制造大量爆炸和谋杀事件，迫使欧洲最自由国家之一的警察局长承认他们正在失去对法律和秩序的控制。
警方表示，就在该国张开双臂欢迎难民五年后，来自中东、北非和巴尔干地区的犯罪集团导致这些曾经和平的城市犯罪率飙升，去年发生了 257 起爆炸事件和 300 多起枪击事件。
在八月份发生的一起非同寻常的事件中，哥德堡最臭名昭著的犯罪家族阿里汗帮在该市东北部设置了路障，将火把照射到汽车上，以追捕敌对暴徒的成员。
警方突破了检查站并逮捕了 20 人。 但此举被视为瑞典“软实力”的象征，嫌疑人被释放，因为检察官认为他们没有违法。
哥德堡警察局长埃里克·诺德在接受独家采访时告诉《每日邮报》：“这些犯罪团伙有着完全不同的文化，这使得他们很难用正常的警察方法来对付。”
“我们需要更多的警察，我们的法院和监狱也需要加强，以紧急应对这种情况。 否则我们就会变成黑帮的天堂。”
瑞典警察局长警告称，他们无法遏制该国不断上升的黑手党犯罪浪潮。 五年后五年过去了，这个国家张开双臂欢迎大批移民涌入，就像上图所示。 现在这个问题如此严重，以至于执法官员正在大声疾呼。瑞典警察局长表示，他们无法遏制该国不断上升的黑手党犯罪浪潮。 他们将不断增加的暴力事件归咎于2015年瑞典张开双臂欢迎移民的大规模移民。 照片中的人均未参与犯罪团伙

Sweden turning into 'gangland paradise' after 'six people shot dead' in just eight days
Sweden's police chief has sounded the Alarm as gang conflicts bring "unprecedented" violence.
Sweden has been branded a "gangland paradise" as the Scandinavian country struggles to get to grip on a rising violent crime wave.
For several years, Sweden has been dealing with a violent gang war involving the use of weapons and explosive devices by criminal organisations battling for control of arms and drug trafficking.
The country's national police chief stated this week that the gang conflicts have brought an "unprecedented" surge of violence to Sweden, following a weekmarred by multiple shootings - a number of which were fatal.
According to the Telegraph, last night a sixth person - a child - was shot dead in Sweden in just eight days.
Last year, Swedish police registered 90 explosions and 101 attempted explosive attacks, with over 100 explosions already documented this year.
Editor of the Spectator Magazine, Frazer Nelson whose wife is Swedish wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Another child shot dead in Sweden last night: this is the 6th fatal shooting in eight days.
"Its gangland warfare - and the use of 'child soldiers' as young as ten years old being recruited - is without parallel in Europe."

Sweden has become a gangster’s paradise – and a case study in how not to integrate migrants
Its liberal migration and criminal justice systems have incubated a shocking sub-culture of violence
When my wife first moved over from Stockholm, she took a while to adjust to the crime. Yellow police signs appealing for witnesses after a stabbing would terrify her. She’d tool up when venturing out of an evening, as if readying for battle. How times have changed. In London, a city with about the same population as Sweden, no one was shot dead in the six months leading up to spring last year. In the next six months, four were shot dead in Södertälje, a city half an hour’s drive south-west of Stockholm.
Since then, things have become far worse. A gangland war erupted on Christmas Day and warring factions have been rampaging around the city in a manner resonant more of 1930s Chicago than contemporary Scandinavia. Gangsters use bombs to send each other warnings; assassins to shoot one another dead. There were 61 fatal firearms attacks last year, six times more than the combined total for Denmark, Finland and Norway. Children young enough to be immune from prosecution under Swedish law are, increasingly, sent to carry out the attacks.
For those of us who zoom in and out of Sweden’s national debate, the most striking aspect is the language. Events that ought to scandalise an entire country are now being reported as part of everyday life. “For me, it has become normal,” said an eyewitness quoted in a report after last weekend’s murder of a 15-year-old in a shopping centre in Skogås, a suburb of Stockholm. “It’s the third or fourth time it’s happened and took place close to the shopping centre, so it wasn’t that shocking.”
Sweden gave the world Scandi-noir fiction. Now true crime is taking over – with podcasts, books and reports into a nationwide murder mystery that has the nation stumped. Why Sweden? Why so bad? Why children? Why is it getting worse? Yes, the 2015 asylum wave saw Sweden import all kinds of criminality among the record numbers of people it took in. But Germany took in even more and doesn’t have such problems. Sweden’s police has seen its budget rise by 75 per cent in recent years but is still losing. Worse, they’re not sure how to win.
Max Åkerwall, a Stockholm police chief, spoke about it earlier this week. Locking up a gang leader, he said, creates a vacuum which leads to a violent power struggle among rival factions (police have counted 52 gangs). Hence more bombs, guns and murders. So it’s not a matter of a few Mr Bigs. It’s the emergence of a whole subculture of violence, unwittingly incubated by Sweden’s liberal immigration and criminal justice system.
“We now have parallel societies in Sweden,” said Magdalena Andersson before she lost power as prime minister last year. “We live in the same country, but in completely different realities.” The phrase “no-go” area is deeply controversial in Sweden but certainly applies to neighbourhoods where authorities – even ambulance workers – cannot go for fear of attack.
Sweden has long seen itself as a “humanitarian superpower” and its generosity with migrants once saw it take in my wife’s parents, who fled the Soviets after the 1968 Prague Spring. My Stockholm-born spouse was taught a “home language” – Czech – even though Sweden was her home. This nods to the other problem: Sweden’s generosity to accommodate asylum seekers is rivalled only by the problems it has always had with integrating them into society.
Perhaps the best measure of integration is the difference in unemployment rates between non-natives and locals. In Britain, it’s negligible but Sweden has the worst gap in the developed world (15 vs 4 per cent). If you allow people smugglers to pour tens of thousands of usually male asylum seekers into a system unable to absorb them, you fill up edge-of-town estates where organised crime is the big business.
Police in Germany and Britain are more used to dealing with imported bad guys – jihadis and other assorted terrorists – and our laws are harsher. Sweden’s courts have always been keener on the wellbeing of offenders, especially the young. A few years ago, a law was passed declaring that arrest, detention or imprisonment of anyone under 18 should only take place “as a last resort”. This delighted the gangsters, who quickly took it as a licence to use children as their foot soldiers.
Police say that children account for most of those arrested for gang-related violence, with about 1,200 of these so-called “child soldiers” now at large. In England, the age of criminal responsibility is 10. In Sweden, it’s 15: no one under that age can be sentenced to any punishment. Half of those arrested in raids after Stockholm’s post-Christmas murders are school-aged. Their trademark weapon is the thermos bomb: homemade and carried in flasks which, in a child’s hand, don’t look suspicious.
The emergence of “child soldiers” makes reading Sweden’s newspapers all the more surreal. “More than 25 shots were fired at the apartment building,” ran a report in Aftonbladet last week. “Police are working on the theory that the perpetrators shot at the wrong door. Another 15-year-old has been detained.”
And this, from a few days earlier: “A 13-year-old and a 14-year-old were stopped at the last moment from committing a crime with automatic weapons in Hammarbyhöjden, in southern Stockholm.”
Sweden was late to allow police to bug mobile phones, late to subject 19-year-old murderers to life sentences. Lise Tamm, a former chief prosecutor, complained about the “naivety” of the system as a whole. Thousands of decent people, she said, are being left in the lurch “as we protect the integrity of criminals and ignore the victims”.
You can see her frustration. There are plenty of calls for laws to change – but must a whole country abandon its liberal values to adjust for a new criminal minority? Then again, Sweden is running out of options. Overall, its crime rate is still about the European average but for this specific sort of crime – the exploitation of children, thermos bombs and gangland shootings – it has somehow become one of the worst in the developed world.
So the compassion for which Sweden is famous – which so many members of my own extended family owe so much – has started to incubate the worst kind of criminality. My hunch is that this amazing country will, in the end, find a way out of this. But in the meantime, it is offering the world a case study in what not to do.

By JAKE WALLIS SIMONS, ASSOCIATE GLOBAL
Migrant mafia gangs are terrorising Sweden's streets with a surge of bombings and murders, forcing police chiefs in one of Europe's most liberal countries to admit they are losing their grip on law and order.
Just five years after the country welcomed refugees with open arms, criminal clans from the Middle East, north Africa and the Balkans are behind soaring crime rates in their once peaceful cities, police say, with 257 bombings and more than 300 shootings last year.
In one extraordinary incident in August, Gothenburg's most notorious crime family, the Ali Khan gang, set up roadblocks in the northeast of the city, shining torches into cars to hunt for members of a rival mob.
Police broke up the checkpoints and made 20 arrests. But in a move that was seen as symbolic of Sweden's 'soft touch', the suspects were released because prosecutors decided they hadn't broken the law.
In an exclusive interview, Erik Nord, Gothenburg's chief of police, told MailOnline: 'These criminal clans have a completely different culture that makes them very difficult to tackle with normal police methods.
'We need more police and our courts and prisons need to be reinforced to deal with this situation urgently. Otherwise we will turn into a gangsters' paradise.'
Swedish police chiefs say they can't contain the country's rising tide of mafia crime. They blame rising violence on mass immigration in 2015 when Sweden welcomed migrants with open arms. None of those pictured are involved in crime gangs 
Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, has consistently refused to blame migrants for the increasing violence. But as the situation spirals out of control, police officers are breaking their silence. None of the migrants above are involved in crime gangs'Two years ago, if people linked immigration to crime as I am now, they would be accused of being racist,' Mr Nord said. 'But the paradigm is shifting.'
Last month, the country's deputy chief of police, Mats Löftving, identified 40 mafia clans who had come to Sweden 'solely for the purpose of organising and systemising crime'.
Gothenburg's chief of police Erik Nord blames the violence on migrant gangs who, he said, were attracted to Sweden by its generous welfare system
His comments came after the roadblock incident, which was part of a feud sparked when members of a group called the Backa Gang shot at a member of the notorious Ali Khan group.
The Ali Khan family has been dubbed a mafia organisation by Swedish police and media alike, though its members insist that the convictions of some do not represent the whole.
Members of the family have been reported to the authorities more than 200 times in the last two years, but in many of the cases the informants mysteriously withdraw their complaints.
In sworn testimony given at court, the local police chief Ulf Merlander said: '[The Ali Khans] have been part of a lot of criminal activities over the years. They've affected the local community pretty negatively for a long time.
'When I look at this family, roughly 60 out of the 120 individuals are over the age of 15. About 40 of them are male, and over 30 have criminal records.'
He added: 'The types of crime that the Ali Khans are known for are murder, extortion, serious violations of a woman's integrity, physical abuse, unlawful threats, drug crimes and unlawful possession of weapons.'
According to police sources, the Backa Gang thug did not know that he was shooting at an Ali Khan member. In the tit-for-tat battle that followed, a Backa hoodlum was gunned down in a drive-by shooting.
Poised for further escalation, the Ali Khans set up the checkpoints to defend themselves, stopping all cars entering their patch to check for rival mobsters.
The Ali Khan network, described by Swedish police officers and media as one of the country's most feared and violent gangs, is typical of mafia rings all over the country. Part of a larger clan that is made up of seven related families, it has branches in Denmark, Germany and Lebanon. The Ali Khans are seen as the clan's enforcers.
Hashem Ali Khan, 63, is believed to be the head of the family. He arrived in Sweden with a bullet in his back in 1984 as a refugee from Lebanon's civil war, and set up home in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac in Angered, northeast Gothenburg, in what would become the heart of his family's territory.
In this middle class, semi-detached modern home, the frail pensioner with a large white beard receives regular visits from senior relatives. He officiates every Friday at the nearby al Salam mosque, which offers courses in martial arts as well as prayer and study sessions.
Imam Hashem Ali Khan, who came to Sweden in 1984 from Lebanon, is believed to be head of the notorious Ali Khan crime family, although he has no criminal convictions
Ali Khan's son-in-law Fadi Ali Khan (above), 44, who divorced the imam's daughter in 2004 after fathering her children, served one year in prison in 2017 for obstruction of justice
The location of the notorious Ali Khan , roadblocks in Angered, northeastern Gothenburg, which sparked outrage. Police arrested 20 gang members but later released them all as they could not decide if they had committed any crime.Hashem Ali Khan's modest, middle-class home in Angered, a northeastern suburb of Gothenburg, where he meets senior members of his family
But five of his seven children and three of their spouses have been convicted of criminal offences, including murder, drugs crimes, threatening police, serious assault and obstruction of justice.
His middle son Ibrahim, 38, was caught smuggling teargas and bladed knuckle-dusters into the city last year, and his younger son Abdelbaset, 33, shot dead an 18-year-old Chilean in a revenge attack.
Nine of the imam's 34 grandchildren have also been found guilty of crimes. Khalil, 28, for instance, has committed assault, attempted robbery, obstruction of justice, theft and drug offences, while his brother Hashem, 22, has served two prison sentences for drug crimes, serious assault and obstruction of justice.
The Ali Khans and roadblocks in Gothenburg are just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the 40 clans there are hundreds of smaller gangs, and conflicts between rivals mean that only one month of the last three years has passed without a mob-related killing in Sweden. There are now 10 times as many killings as there are in Germany.
This summer, a 12-year-old girl was shot dead by a stray bullet near Stockholm, while in Gothenburg a teacher was kidnapped and beaten after he reported two armed men outside his school. An eight-year old British boy was killed in a grenade attack in the same city while visiting family in 2016.
Last month, foreign exchange students at Dalarna University in Borlänge, central Sweden, pleaded to be moved from their digs in an immigrant-dominated neighbourhood after a spate of shootings, robberies, stabbings, rapes and school arson attacks.
They had been housed in the Tjärna Ängar area, which has soaring rates of violent crime and is home to high numbers of migrants from troubled countries like Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Migrants were evicted by police in Malmo after a standoff lasting many months that threatened to overwhelm social servicesAbout 200 migrants who had set up a makeshift camp back in 2015 in Malmo, Sweden, were evicted and moved on by police
In a letter to university leaders sent on behalf of the international student union, Indian student Mufassireen Ahmed wrote: 'Students are disturbed with the thought that they are experiencing the glimpse of war countries at their accommodation, which has led to widespread depression.'
Her friends had been repeatedly robbed and one had been stabbed after refusing to allow unknown men access to university property, she wrote.
Several had seen knife attacks and heard gun shots while in their rooms studying, causing some to abandon their studies and leave Sweden.
'The general opinion within students is that they do not feel like they are living in Sweden, they do not hear the language or get to experience the culture and traditions, [and they] feel like they are living in a segregated neighbourhood,' she wrote.
There has also been a spate of 'humiliation robberies', in which young victims are mugged, degraded and raped, mainly by migrant youths.
Traditional crime rings such as the Hell’s Angels, which controlled organised crime in the country for decades, are running scared.
Sweden, long seen as the most open in the world, began opening its doors to asylum seekers in the Eighties and took in one of the highest numbers in Europe during the migration surge of 2015.
The Ali Khans and other established clans arrived in Sweden in the first wave of mass migration, 30 years ago. The family originated in Palestine and Mardin, in southeast Turkey, but spread to Lebanon in the last century and from there to northern Europe.
More recent arrivals are adapting to the gang culture. Syrian-born Ouday Alwaked, for example, joined the Ali Khan family as a foot-soldier. According to a police source, he served Fadi Ali Khan loyally until he was sent to prison for two years after stabbing a rival in the neck in a targeted attack.
Police intelligence chiefs have told MailOnline of their concerns that Syrians and other new migrants are starting to form their own crime rings that will one day challenge the likes of the Ali Khans.
According to Mr Nord, these crime rings are drawn to the country by state handouts. 'Why have they based themselves in Sweden? It's obvious,' he said.
'Our generous welfare system and trusting society can be exploited by the criminal networks. Half of the disabled benefit we pay out is fraudulently taken by the gangs. Sometimes they get divorced so that the Government will give them another flat, then move back in with their ex-wives and rent it out.
Migrant communities have developed in Sweden's suburbs that have very little contact with mainstream society
For decades, Swedish politicians refused to link rising crime rates to immigration but now police officers are speaking out
The migrant surge five years ago allowed criminal elements to enter the country alongside legitimate refugees‘When the clan system found in the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans was transferred into Sweden, with our high level of social trust, it mutated into organised crime.
‘We see the migrants leaving the country for a few months, then coming back in a wheelchair to claim disability benefit. This is the beginning of the exploitation.
'It is terrible because police resources are being used to address the problem that we have created ourselves.'
Inspector Ulf Böstrom, head of Gothenburg's integration unit, who has been a police officer for 42 years, told MailOnline that the withdrawal of community police patrols in the Eighties created a vacuum that was filled with migrant gangs.
'When the cat is gone, the rats dance on the table,' he said. 'In Sweden, the cat has been gone for 30 years. With no police on the beat, there was no way of showing our legal boundaries to new arrivals.
'The clans have a code of silence. They don't trust Sweden's authorities and they won't speak to us. We have 184 nationalities in Gothenburg alone. The clans view white Swedes as just another clan that happens to be in control of the country's institutions.
'We had a plan for integration that obviously failed. Fixing it will be very difficult. A generation of young men has been born into crime families on Swedish soil, and they see themselves as untouchable.'
The veteran police officer added: 'It is our own fault but the politicians won't admit it. We can't solve it with surveillance or military-style policing. If police are not patrolling the streets, how can we integrate these parallel societies?'
Johanna Bäckström Lerneby, author of The Family, a book about the Ali Khans, said: 'Normal Swedes trust the State to look after them and keep them safe. But the clans trust only their families.
'For them, family is more important than life and death. The State is not important. They don't speak to police. They are living in a different world.'
So powerful have the crime rings become, she added, that they even have lawyers in their pockets.
Earlier this year, solicitor Edip Samuelsson was penalised after he was found to be helping two gang members coordinate their stories while in custody facing drug charges.
Unlike other gangs, the clans are bonded by blood and run on a strict family hierarchy. The war with the Backa Gang ended when older members of the Ali Khan group set up a peace summit in the five-star Clarion Post hotel in central Gothenburg, less than 500 yards away from the city's main police station.
