“Eight criminal gangs in the student city”
” the Police: ”Their ways to move forward””
“Narkotikauppgörelser, conflicts between the connections and the revenge for the earlier murder.”
“It’s some of the suspects, the motives for the shootings in Uppsala.”
“Over the past year it has been shot 21 times in the city and several of the suspected shooters is linked to the criminal gangs in Uppsala, sweden including Gottsunda-the network.”
“– Firings is their way of moving forward in våldstrappan. They have våldskapital and they notice that we have difficult to prosecute them, ” says Daniel Larsson, a commissioner at the Uppsalapolisen.”
“In 2018, was 21, confirmed the firings in Uppsala, sweden, according to figures from the police – which has claimed two lives, and in all cases, ten injured. The majority of the shootings have taken place in a public place and pistolu002Fhandeldvapen is the most common weapon.”
“at the same time Uppsalapolisen seized 47 weapons in 2018.”
“– It has increased substantially if compared with previous years. The majority of the seizures have been linked to Gottsunda. And to get rid of weapons will be expensive for them, say, to a fully workable workable AK-47 goes on between 18 000-25 000 sek a piece, ” says Jale Poljarevius, the police chief in Uppsala.”
“Only three of the shootings in 2018, has led to the judgment, which acquitted the alleged shooter in the district court and where the court of appeal’s judgment has not yet fallen. “
“Anne Sjöblom is the prosecutor and she says that there are several problems with investigating gängrelaterade firings.”
“– To investigate the crimes committed in the gängmiljö has become very difficult and it largely depends on the culture that one should not talk with the police. We have no wish to participate on the victim’s side either, even if you survive a shooting, you want to tell me about it. Then, it is not unusual that a lot of people at the scene of the crime, but not even third-party witnesses stand up and tell of fear, ” she says.”
“Anne Sjöblom says that all of the firings that she has been the investigating authority is suspected of having been linked to the gängmiljön and she believes that there are several things to do to facilitate the ability to trap suspects.”
” It is important that the rule of law will in the first hand but you should look at the system with anonymous witnesses. Another thing that I know that you are looking at is to give the police for questioning in the investigation greater validity in court. I know of several cases where people have told you initially and then become affected for the trial to take back their data, ” says Anne Sjöblom.”
“the Shooters are linked to the gangs”
“According to the police, we suspect that the majority of the shootings during the year in Uppsala belong in the serious organised crime and in the cases where the suspects been linked to several of these criminal networks in Uppsala. “
“– It is about the conflicts around money, territory and markets. Before you could fight but now it has more become firing, either in the legs or to kill, ” says Daniel Larsson, a commissioner at the Uppsalapolisen.”
“– the Equation is quite simple: as soon as we takes a lot of fittings there is always someone who happens to bad and are liable to the lot of money which means that there will be any form of conflict, and perhaps shooting, so the more seizures we make, the more firings, it becomes, ” says Stefan Siesing, external command at the police in Uppsala.”
“Eight criminal networks”
“According to the police, it is estimated that approximately 200-250 people in town are included in any of the eight criminal groupings in akademikerstaden, Hells Angels infanticide. It should mainly be about gänggrupperingar which is linked to the neighborhoods – but also about families where members are brought up into a life of crime.”
“– There is often a structure with a core that may have grown up together or are childhood friends, then they are a little loose at the edges and may also have links to another gang in another city or even other gangs here in town. Those who are further down in the hierarchy is a little looser at the edges. You can see them in the pub together with someone from a different groups and they socialise more freely. At the bottom there is no loyalty at all, but they can change more, ” says Daniel Larsson.”
“Among the eight networks as pointed out in Uppsala right now, also include street gangs, consisting of unaccompanied young people, including from Afghanistan, which hangs in the city. According to the police, is more of them with drugs.”
“– They are often springpojkar to the other and selling a little bit himself at the side of the. They stand at the bottom of the pyramid and some of the work of the gangs, some freelancing, and then there will be trouble, ” says Daniel Larsson, and adds:” the
“– There can be a lot of violence in the groupings and they can make a fuss about the ten grams of hashish, and who sells to whom, and we have worked a lot against these factions during the christmas season.”
“Gottsunda-the network is the greatest: ”Great våldskapital””
“It is the network in Gottsunda, as right now pointed out as the biggest, with around 70 individuals.”
“– at the same time, they have been weakened by the seizures and the efforts that we made and have a few members left as a result of other networks which also weakened them, ” says Jale Poljarevius.”
“It is the same network that is connected to the major fraud – and penningtvättshärvan under the name of Operation Casino, where it is soon expected to be brought to prosecution at the Uppsala district court.”
“During the year, people who are singled out to belong to the network has been suspected to be behind the firings – and themselves become targets for attacks.”
“– They have a large våldskapital, both against the police and prosecutors, but also against other criminals, ” says a source with transparency.”
“According to Jale Poljarevius is the drug trade an important source of income for gangs and Gottsunda-the network is suspected to be behind several drug-related offences. Right now, among other things, a man singled out to have a leading role in custody suspected of aggravated drug trafficking; drugs that the police suspect were to be sold in Uppsala. The same man was acquitted recently at the Uppsala district court for a serious drugs offence, which he was suspected of having transported over 24,000 tablets of tramadol. The judgment has been appealed to the Svea court of appeal.”
“According to the data, even linked Gottsunda network to the large tramadol-tangle in Uppsala last year when police seized drugs with a value of over 15 million – a seizure that, according to the police also gave echoes in the criminal Uppsala.”
“The big tramadolbeslaget was painful for them,” says Daniel Larsson.”
“A man was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for having sold, inter alia, Tramadol online, via a website on the net and the prosecutor suspected that he had tasked leverenserna while the other – non-accused persons been the masterminds behind the knarkförsäljningen.”
“Adding extra police officers.”
“Now shall the police invest extra towards Gottsunda and right now, there is recruitment of a group of police officers who are just going to work against Gottsundau002FValsätra.”
“– Gottsunda has been classified as a particularly vulnerable area, and we’ve been working on pretty hard there, and soon there is a group that is only going to work there and it will mean that I will be more visible and we will work a lot with the trust and confidence of the public, ” says Jale Poljarevius.”
