Key Points

  • • Svante Valdés Reveco, a notorious bomb maker, sentenced for explosives offenses.

In a significant ruling, two individuals have been convicted in connection to an attempted bombing outside the Bandidos motorcycle club in Haninge, Stockholm. The Södertörn District Court sentenced Svante Valdés Reveco, also known as "Svampen", a notorious bomb maker with a history of explosives offenses, to a new term added to his existing prison sentence. This sentencing follows the discovery of an unexploded bomb placed at the club in December 2024. Valdés Reveco, already serving a 14-year term, faced charges related to serious violations of flammable and explosive materials laws.

In another aspect of the case, a 14-year-old boy who attempted to detonate the bomb was found guilty of serious public endangerment and violations of explosive laws. The court considered significant evidence against him, including chat messages and video footage that documented the attempted bombing incident, highlighting the moment he failed to detonate the explosive device.

Additionally, two men from Dalarna were alleged accomplices in transporting the bomb; however, only one of the two was convicted, reflecting the varied levels of involvement in this dangerous attempt.
