The concert was canceled and police confirmed an investigation was underway following the incident.

The 15-year-old is now charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

From chats in the investigation, it has emerged that someone tried to plan a murder against a famous Swedish rapper in connection with his alleged concert in Umeå, prosecutor Niksa Lucic tells VK.

In response to the question of whether the target was Yasin, the prosecutor says:

This conclusion can be drawn from various mentions in these chats.

But the indictment still concerns an unknown target. According to the prosecutor, there is not enough evidence to prove the defendant committed a crime against the rapper.

The investigation has also not been able to show who issued the murder order.
