Following close cooperation between Danish, Swedish, and Spanish police, three Swedes have been arrested today for involvement in recruiting young people to conflicts in Sweden and Denmark.
This is stated by Copenhagen Police on social media X.
According to the police, the three arrested have recruited individuals who have been involved in shootings, attempted murders, and weapons criminality.
European Police Office (Europol) has also been involved in the investigation. Among other things, digital evidence has been traced, and intelligence has been coordinated. Together, this led to the identification of the three arrested in Spain.
Danish police do not wish to elaborate on the case but refer to a press release from the Swedish police. (
It is therefore uncertain which cases the three arrested are involved in.

Denmark and particularly Copenhagen have been marked by gang conflicts throughout the spring and summer
In the spring, the motorcycle gang Satudarah was at war with an unnamed Swedish criminal network. Once that conflict had passed, it was replaced by another one between Loyal To Familia and the unnamed network.
This led to several shootings and hand grenade attacks. It culminated in August when a man was shot dead on Hans Tavsens Gade in Indre Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
In both conflicts, the gangs have used young Swedes, in some cases even teenagers, who were hired to carry out attacks in Denmark.
Typically, they are recruited by seeing determined advertisements on encrypted chat services such as Telegram.
Police do not disclose what the further proceedings are for the three arrested, but they are required to be extradited to either Sweden or Denmark.
