Key details
Ildar Galiyev, known by the alias "Scar," is suspected to be one of Sweden's most violent criminals and a principal figure in the Dalennätverket criminal network, according to reports. Recently extradited from Greece, Galiyev is alleged to have orchestrated multiple murders and bombings in 2023 and 2024, significantly contributing to a surge of gang-related violence in Stockholm and nearby regions.
One such incident on September 27, 2023, involved the shooting of an 18-year-old man at a sports facility in Fruängen, southern Stockholm, an event witnessed by numerous children and subsequently circulated on social media. Later that same night, a microwave containing approximately 13 kilograms of dynamite was found between two houses in Fullerö, near Uppsala. The bomb was intended as an attack on a relative of Dalennätverket leader Rawa Majid. Tragically, this explosion resulted in the death of a 24-year-old woman residing in a neighboring house.
Galiyev has a longstanding criminal history including drug offenses and attempted extortion. He reportedly masterminded these violent acts from exile, coordinating through encrypted communications. Furthermore, police suspect his involvement in the unresolved murder of rapper Einár and plan to interrogate him regarding this case.
The extradition and subsequent investigations into Galiyev are pivotal in unraveling the escalating violence associated with Dalennätverket. Authorities highlight his involvement in over 20 criminal acts spanning murders, bombings, and other serious offenses that have threatened public safety.
This sequence of events marks a critical phase for Swedish law enforcement in combating gang-related violence stemming from Dalennätverket, especially considering the civilian casualties and brazen nature of these attacks.
