The Court of Appeal reduces the sentence for a 26-year-old gang leader from Kalmar who was prosecuted for planning murder on rivals. According to the prosecutor, he has connections to the criminal network Foxtrot.
The gang leader is sentenced to prison for seven years and eight months. In the district court, he was previously sentenced to prison for eleven years and eight months.
The prosecutor described at a press conference in connection with the prosecution this spring how the 26-year-old controlled his underlings from Spain during a period when a conflict between rival networks in Kalmar led to shootings and assault cases.
The Court of Appeal also reduces the sentence for a 25-year-old co-defendant – instead of two years and ten months, the sentence becomes two years and four months. The district court had also sentenced him to deportation, but that decision is revoked by the Göta Court of Appeal.
Two other defendants in the case have withdrawn their appeals against the verdict in Kalmar District Court. One of them was sentenced there to prison for seven and a half years, the other to prison for four years and ten months.
