Two teenage girls accepted brutal paid violence assignments from the infamous Foxtrot network, led by the internationally wanted leader Rawa “The Kurdish Fox” Majid. Over the course of two days in September, they attempted to detonate a hand grenade at an apartment building in Mölndal and later completed a bombing in Nödinge. The assignments were brokered via encrypted chats by an individual calling himself “SuperMario.” The girls now stand trial for, among other charges, gross public devastation and serious weapons offenses. A third girl, aged 14, is too young to be prosecuted.
Early in the morning of September 5, 2025, police were called to Lerbrännargatan in Mölndal after a resident discovered a suspicious object outside the entrance to an apartment building. It turned out to be a hand grenade. The safety pin had been pulled and the lever lay some distance away — but for an unknown reason, the grenade did not explode.
The area was cordoned off for several hours while the National Bomb Squad worked. Residents were kept inside their apartments. According to the prosecutor, there was concrete danger to both lives and extensive property if the detonation had been completed.
The forensic investigation quickly produced results. DNA traces secured from parts of the grenade were later tied to 16-year-old Sara Nas, as well as a girl who was 14 at the time and thus below the age of criminal responsibility.
The Mission Continued – Explosion in Nödinge
Despite the failed attempt in Mölndal, the spiral of violence did not stop. The following evening, on September 6, Sara and 17-year-old Helin Akgün, together with the younger girl, took public transportation north towards Nödinge in Ale municipality.
They carried two hand grenades in a handbag. Just before midnight, the grenades were thrown at a ground-floor apartment on Norra Klöverstigen. One of them detonated with a loud bang. Windows were shattered, the facade damaged, and shrapnel was scattered in the residential area where several people were inside their apartments. The other grenade did not explode.
The prosecutor classifies the action as gross public devastation, partly because the explosion was directed at a residence with people inside and because the crime was part of an organized criminal operation.
Directed via Encrypted Chats
The investigation shows that the attacks were preceded by intense communication in encrypted apps. A central role was played by the alias “SuperMario,” who, according to the accused, claimed to belong to the Foxtrot network and to be abroad.
In chats after the Nödinge attack, SuperMario asked if both grenades had indeed been thrown. An answer read:
“Walla, we threw them in. You heard it.”
This phrasing, along with other expressions in interrogations, has been highlighted by the prosecutor as examples of how the assignments were carried out under direct direction and real-time monitoring. According to the preliminary investigation, it was the youngest girl who first contacted SuperMario and asked for “jobs.” Then the two older teenagers were recruited.
‘It Was About Revenge in a Gang War’
During interrogations, the girls described that they understood the assignments were connected to ongoing conflicts within organized crime. When one of them was asked why the targets were chosen, she answered briefly.
– Revenge. It’s a gang war.
Before the attacks, they reportedly watched instructional videos on how to handle hand grenades. For the assignments, a total of several tens of thousands of kronor was promised. The investigation includes account statements and surveillance images showing cash withdrawals shortly after the crimes.
Regret and Fear in Interrogations
In later interrogations, both defendants described psychological pressure and anxiety. Helin Akgün recounted that she felt physically ill after the explosion and vomited as they fled the scene.
– I just cried. I wish it had never happened.
Sara Nas stated in interrogation that she felt threatened and controlled by SuperMario and that she felt unable to back out once she had agreed.
– You regret it, but you’re already in the situation. There’s no way back.
Charges and Legal Proceedings
Both teenage girls are now being prosecuted in Gothenburg District Court for, among other things, gross public devastation, attempted gross public devastation, gross unlawful threats, and gross breach of the law on flammable and explosive goods.
The acts are considered particularly serious because they were part of a scheme linked to organized crime.
Both girls have been detained during the investigation but released pending the main hearing. For the youngest girl, who was 14 at the time of the crimes, the prosecutor has initiated so-called ‘Bevistalan’ (a procedure for offenders below the age of criminal responsibility), as she could not be charged when the crimes were committed.
A Pattern of ‘Crime as a Service’
In a supplementary report, police describe how this case fits into a broader pattern where serious violence is ordered and carried out by youths via social media and encrypted apps — an operation internally referred to as ‘crime as a service.’
In this case, it ended with two teenage girls, barely old enough to drive, carrying out bomb attacks for one of Sweden’s most violent immigrant criminal networks.
