It is not the party's line, says Richard Jomshof, chairman of the justice committee, to DN.

Weimers made his statement during a debate in the EU Parliament on Tuesday. He believes that Sweden should cooperate with the USA and Israel to eliminate Majid. He compares with the American al-Qaeda profile Anwar al-Awlaki who was killed by the USA in Yemen.

The gangs are not deterred until we learn from and cooperate with the USA and Israel to liquidate gang leaders who are safely seated in a third country, and lease out their soldiers to the highest bidder terror state, says Weimers.

Let us do the same with Rawa Majid.

The Israeli intelligence service Mossad has pointed out the Swedish Foxtrot network, led by Rawa Majid, for cooperating with Iran. According to Mossad, the network has, among other things, carried out attempted attacks on Israel's embassy in Stockholm.

But Charlie Weimers' statement is not part of the SD's policy, according to Richard Jomshof.

It is a completely personal statement. The party's line is, of course, that these kinds of individuals should be hunted, caught, and prosecuted. They should sit out their entire lives in prison, preferably in other countries with low-standard prisons, he says to DN.

Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (The Moderate Party) says that Swedish authorities do not engage in such methods as Weimers presents.

It is not compatible with the rules that apply in our democratic rule of law. On the other hand, our authorities and all other actors should do everything in their power to find the criminal gang leaders, ensure they are caught, prosecuted, and punished severely and for a very long time for their crimes, he says.
