A 35-year-old man is being prosecuted for aggravated general endangerment, while two people are being prosecuted for extremely aggravated drug offenses and extremely aggravated weapons offenses. The fourth person is suspected of attempting aggravated general endangerment. According to the police, he attempted to carry out a bombing at the same address in Majorna a day earlier.

According to the police, the individuals have ties to organized crime.

"The police have an offensive approach to combating serious organized crime and we are working hard to catch actors who are part of criminal groups. This is not an isolated incident, but rather part of the violent development we have seen in Gothenburg for some time," says Dan Windt, deputy unit manager at the investigative unit in Region West, in a press release.
