A Swedish family endures constant worry due to threats from a criminal gang, forcing them to relocate multiple times for safety.
A family in Sweden has found itself in a nightmare scenario after becoming a target of a criminal gang. According to Aftonbladet, they live in constant fear, with threats escalating over time. The mother in the family says: "We are scared every day, it's a constant worry." The family has been forced to move several times within the country to avoid danger, but the threats continue to reach them via phone and social media.
The background to the conflict is linked to the gang's activities, where the family became inadvertently involved through testimony or proximity to a criminal investigation. The police are involved and have taken protective measures, but the family feels insufficiently safeguarded. A police source states that such threats are common in organized crime in Sweden, with over 100 similar cases reported in the past year.
This situation highlights the broader challenges with gang violence in the country. The family describes daily life as paralyzed: the children cannot play freely outside the home, and the parents sleep with one eye open. Experts note that such cases often lead to long-term mental health issues. Despite police efforts, the family's future remains uncertain, and they appeal for more support from society.
