“– In any form, there are certainly some links but it is too early to say what, we are watching the course on it – the connections and who might be behind it, ” says Stefan Sintéus.”
“Malmö has previously been rocked by a war between the rivals in the taxi industry. It led to a well-known gangsterledare, which would help one of the parties, was shot dead in 2011 in a taxikontor where the staff sat and received calls with taxibeställningar.”
“The suspected shooter disappeared abroad but could be apprehended and prosecuted two years later. But the man was acquitted.”

“the Killer shot the 51-year-old in the back at close range and then in the head, according to Aftonbladet’s information. The victim, who survived the assassination attempt earlier, were called by the police ”one of Malmö’s most criminal.” “
“He was the one who was acquitted from the murder inside the taxikontoret 2011. “
“the Day before the murder had four taxis burnt again. Several of them were linked to a company that taxiföretagaren had involvement in.”
“And the night yesterday destroyed two taxis from the company, as a 51-year-old controlled.”
“What connection that may exist between events is something that the police investigators are trying to clarify. “
“Stefan Sintéus say that not everything need apply ”taxikriget” and interests in the taxi market in Malmö, but be directed at individual drivers.”
“Have picking up the schoolchildren”
“the city of Malmö recently said their contract with one of the most vulnerable taxi companies as daily driven 270 pupils to and from school. This, among other things, since the anxious parents heard of. Taxi Courier will take over in the spring.”
“– The most important thing for us is to be able to offer reliable and safe school transport for our students, ” said servicedirektör Carina Temples in a press release in the next week.”
“It made redundant the company has had financial problems and was requested recently in the bankruptcy. Prior to that, had it bought up a another taxiföretags order number. The founder of the company was, according to the Sydsvenskan on the ”winning side” in the conflict that ended with the murder in 2011.”
“”the Investigation is moving forward””
“the Investigation of the murder of taxiföretagaren go forward, according to Stefan Sintéus.”
“– There are a lot of good things to work with in the case, it actually does, ” says Sintéus without wanting to go into any details.”
“According to Sydsvenskan got the 51-year-old taxiföretagaren hold of a grill on a flatbed truck when he was attacked. Witnesses told how he was struck with the grill against the killer. If the touched can be both DNA and fribrer from the killer’s clothes have been set aside. “
“Petra Stenkula, the chief constable at the investigation unit of the South, says to Aftonbladet that there are several theories that the police are now working with in parallel. One theory is that the subject is to be found in the ”taxikriget” or conflicts with the people around the murder of 51-year-old was acquitted of.”
“given all the attacks that have been, how dangerous it is to ride a taxi in Malmö?”
“Our assessment is that it is not dangerous to ride a taxi,” says Petra Stenkula. There are no attacks that have been directed against the passengers. Generally speaking, when it comes to this type of explosions, as happened now, is my image that they can occur at night when there is very little people out there. Then, of course, always a risk when dealing with explosives, of course. “
