NRK has previously reported that Swedish criminal gangs are linked to at least 40 criminal cases in Norway in recent years. Just like in similar criminal cases in Denmark, it also involves young suspects in some cases.

According to NRK, for example, it is about a shooting in Oslo last year, where a 15-year-old boy is suspected of being involved. The same boy was later charged with taking on a murder assignment in Denmark.

In Norway, it's hard to find a 15-year-old who wants to kill someone. Unfortunately, it's not that hard in Sweden. Then it becomes so that Swedes travel to other countries, says Manne Gerell, criminologist at Malmö University, to NRK.
