“I had a case involving a 15-year-old girl recruited to shoot someone in the head,” Stockholm prosecutor Ida Arnell told AFP. “She was able to choose the type of mission she wanted, in other words, to aim at the guy’s door or his head. She chose the head.”
Some context not in the article
Some 280 girls aged between 15 and 17 were charged with murder, manslaughter or other violent crimes last year
That “other violent crimes” appears to do some very heavy lifting. There are about 40 deaths a year in total in the criminal mileu. Unless I’m interpreting the data wrong
[Gangs] are even reported to have infiltrated Sweden’s welfare sector, local politics, legal and education systems, and juvenile detention care.
Yes, because liberals and conservatives sold everything. They sold it to friends, family, donors, who in turn sell it to gangs.
The Swedish government has proposed new legislation that would allow police to wiretap children under the age of 15 in an attempt to curb the violence
Not only that, children will also now be going to prison in Sweden.
[…] on encrypted messaging sites.
Ah, yes. The head of the Swedish police said in an interview the other day that Signal have no other use than recruiting for assassinations. If you see someone using it, you should call the police.
Considering Sweden has a right wing government all of this sounds extremely dangerous but not in terms of organized crime but in terms of building a police state. The language the police uses and the way they frame the data to justify the erosion of human rights reflects that of totalitarian regimes. This is deeply concerning.

I don’t see how the commenters here can read this as “cool news”. That’s 90s Colombia for you, in f.ing Sweden.
Damn, isn’t this the plot for Gunslinger Girl?
The opposite was the plot of Lycoris Recoil too.
I am currently in Sweden, do I have to be scared now? 🌝
Well, some people would love to be hit on by Swedish women. Don’t know if you are one of them.
Dude, this is about teen girls…
Trump has entered the chat
Indeed, that’s why I wrote women, not girls.
Those women are not Swedish, I’m afraid.
Are you in a gang or deal in narcotics? If not, then no.
Things need to change, but it’s not dangerous for the average citizen.
Sounds like it could be a cool movie.
Damn that Swedish house mafia!
Weird music to be headbanging on.
