RH DOSSIER / Criminal intermediary

Foxtrot Network

Purpose
A Sweden-centered criminal network involved in drug trafficking, shootings and contract killings. The cited record describes organized crime rather than an Islamist political movement. [11]
Size and reach
Membership unknown in the cited records. It operates beyond Sweden and has used loosely connected recruits, including teenagers, to carry out violence. [11]
Why this alignment
Treasury attributes cooperation with MOIS to leader Rawa Majid. Iran gains access to local criminal capacity and deniability; the record does not establish shared ideology. [11][12]
State nexus: Iran

Where the evidence stops

These are specific government attributions. They do not show that every Foxtrot crime was state-directed or establish a direct HAYI relationship.

The cited dates establish the scope of this record. They do not confirm current operational capacity, complete membership or a present-day legal designation.
