In recent years, gangs with an immigrant background have caused considerable problems in Sweden. An interesting case related to those is currently underway in a Finnish court.
The main question is whether such a Swedish gang was settling in Finland. The police have arrested 13 members of the group, who have been investigated on suspicion of several drug, firearm and violent crimes.
In this case, a Swedish defendant is suspected of assaulting a Finnish main perpetrator. And according according to the prosecutor, the Swedish defendant was the actual leader and executor of the case, while the Finnish defendant was his subordinate.
The outcome of the trial will be seen later, but already now it is clear that the problems in Sweden will appear to its neighboring countries unless their authorities manage to stop them. And that indeed is worrysome in Finland, where most of the political parties have not recognized the problem. Or simply have refused to accept it.
The current case in the court, however, can now be expected to open eyes of most citizens having a possibility to vote for the members of the national Parliament next April. And hopefully increase understanding among those candidates and parties who have previously refused to see the risk from Sweden.
