Also known by his nickname 'Jordgubben' ('The Strawberry')
- Drug trade as I understand it. His gang has also been actively at war with another gang, hiring minors to perform shootings or bombings.
- you know all the shootings that have been reported from sweden the past few years?
  
  Grenade attacks as well

It always really surprises me that Sweden and Turkiye have so much interaction with each other. You'd never guess from looking at a map.
Looks like Drake.
If you got a lisp you can call him Ishmael.
That's a funny name for a "Swedish" gang leader...
- Ugh.
  You can be a Swede and have a background or name from a different culture.
  The gang he was leading was working in Sweden, i.e. a Swedish gang.
- Oh, sorry, we should call them Turkish and completely miss the whole point of where they do their illegal activities, just to be racist.
  
  Also, he very much is Swedish. Born in Sweden to a Turkish father.
