Four young men linked to the Nazi group Aktivklubb Sverige are on trial in Stockholms tingsrätt for assault, robbery, and threats against four men with foreign backgrounds during an August night. Victims describe the attacks as unprovoked and driven by racist hate, while the defendants claim self-defense and deny extreme views. The trial highlights the group's growing influence in Sweden.
On August 27, 2025, four men with foreign backgrounds were assaulted in central Stockholm over 30 minutes. The accused men, aged 20–24 and linked to the Nazi group Aktivklubb Sverige—founded in 2023 with the Stockholm branch White Boys and one member from Borås—are charged with assault, robbery with hate crime motives, and threats. Three are tied to White Boys, and the indictment points to racist motives.
Surveillance footage from the subway shows the men kicking and hitting a lone young man with faces twisted in anger. One victim testified: “These who attacked us enjoyed it, they had planned it and got away.” Another, 42-year-old Mohammad Aluaudt Allah of Syrian origin, was kicked unconscious, suffered a concussion, and lost front teeth. He remembers nothing but feels humiliated and afraid to go out at night: “The last thing I remember is showering, putting on nice clothes, and heading out on the town. And then a group of people degraded me.” A witness heard racist shouts: “Do you want more, you niggers?” A 40-year-old man from Syria needed dental implants and suffers headaches, feeling like “an outcast.”
In Stockholms tingsrätt on November 3–4, 2025, the defendants deny the crimes. They responded “no comment” in police interviews but were more verbose in court, claiming self-defense. A suspected subway assault was described as pulling away an aggressive person. An initial robbery was called “some kind of scuffle” started by the victims. One admits punching a man from behind due to adrenaline but denies laughing during attacks. They describe Aktivklubb as a group for physical and mental development: “The main focus for me is to develop myself physically and mentally and strive to become the best version of myself possible.”
Police found swastikas, Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf,” and stickers at one's home, plus graffiti like AKS and sun wheels after the attacks. A 20-year-old from Borås called a Nazi salute “a goodbye wave” and symbols impulsive. They deny far-right views; one said: “I think history is cool.” Säpo warns of recruiting young men, and expert Christer Mattsson at Segerstedtinstitutet points to radicalization from home environments with racism, where violence actualizes ideology about threats to white people. The trial continues.
