(Rudaw) The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions on Rawa Majid, the Kurdish leader of Foxtrot Network, a transnational criminal organization based in Sweden, over his reported involvement in arms and drugs trafficking and cooperation with Iran in “attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe.”
“The United States is sanctioning the Foxtrot Network, a transnational criminal organization, and its fugitive leader Rawa Majid,” the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, adding that the network “is involved in arms trafficking and contributes to rising violence in Northern Europe, including shootings, contract killings, and assaults.”
Rawa Majid, widely known as the Kurdish Fox, is an Iranian-born Kurdish-Swedish national wanted on multiple charges in Sweden. His group is accused of orchestrating drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and violent crimes such as shootings and contract killings across Northern Europe.
