Violent gang war

In the seven years, between 2008 and 2015, raged a violent gang war in Malmö, sweden. On the one hand was the M-wing, on the other the K-wing. The names were taken from the brödrapar which was considered to lead the gangs.

In February last year, came what was seen as an end in itself. A 30-year-old man was shot to death with a dozen shots on Mobilias parking, in the midst of the people. The man had a price on his head, and for several years had been living under death threats.

The murdered was a prominent figure in the K-wing and the murder was considered to be the endpoint, which meant that the K-wing was “defeated”.

Since then, it has been relatively quiet.

Which grouping, if any, that the now arrested belong to is unclear.

The prosecution had a 30-year-old, according to Sydsvenskan, an appointment with several people to make up “a deal”. The area where the meeting took place, Munkhättegatan, was “his own area”.
