The concept of the “Swedish condition” has been discussed publicly in the Nordic countries for several years. This is synonymous with a situation in which gangs, mostly composed of young people, commit brutal crimes, traffic in drugs, use firearms and explosives, and at the same time even intensive police action does not lead to a reduction in crime. .
According to Nettavisen, as a result of the Nordic countries' close integration and close socio-economic ties, uniformed police officers in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland believe now is the time to discuss the “Nordic situation”. It is said that there is
Denmark. Increase in crime in Copenhagen
According to the paper, police representatives from five countries pointed out that Sweden's powerful and versatile gangs are beginning to organize in neighboring countries. Copenhagen is seeing an increase in membership recruitment and activity among Danish youth. At the same time, Danish criminal groups also use minors from Sweden to carry out contract killings. They recruit them through social media and offer them a salary of at least 200,000 Danish kroner.
Helsinki authorities are also aware of the growing role of Swedish gangs. In 2024, Finnish police successfully seized a record amount of amphetamine smuggled from across the Baltic Sea. Attempts to import weapons and explosives into Finland were also thwarted on an unprecedented scale.
Norway. Worrying police data
Norwegian police officers are warning of the highest level of juvenile crime in seven years. In Oslo alone, the number of crimes committed by perpetrators under the age of 17 doubled during this period. Swedish gangs in Norway deal in drugs, kidnapping, extortion and fraud.
Iceland recorded the highest number of murders. Eight people have lost their lives in this way in this small country since the beginning of this year. Margret Valdimarsdotti, a criminologist at the University of Iceland, is concerned. “I don't remember that so many people were killed in one year in our country,” he said in an interview with RUV TV.
According to Nordic investigators, overcoming this disturbing trend requires closer cooperation between national police forces, increased spending and an increase in the number of police officers. However, they point out that the declaration of cooperation between Denmark and Sweden, for example, has so far not been implemented.
