Key details
A 49-year-old Swedish man has publicly stated that he assisted notorious criminal Rawa Majid in escaping from Turkey in late 2023. This revelation is part of a high-profile trial in Norway, where four men, including the 49-year-old and a 37-year-old facing charges, are implicated in a murder attempt related to their connections with Majid. The shooting incident involved the 37-year-old, who was shot multiple times outside a sports hall in Moss, Norway, in November 2023. This conflict is believed to stem from the deteriorating relationship between Majid and Ismail Abdo, a former ally turned adversary, which has been linked to a series of violent incidents in Sweden and abroad.
During the trial, the 49-year-old testified that both he and the 37-year-old facilitated Majid's escape, asserting that Majid was betrayed by corrupt Turkish authorities. He claimed there was a bounty of 3-4 million euros on Majid's head and acknowledged receiving generous gifts, including a Rolex and cash, from Majid in return for his help. Conversely, the 37-year-old has denied any involvement, asserting he met Majid years prior and had no role in the escape. The case continues to draw considerable media attention in Norway, highlighting the interconnectedness of criminal activities across borders.
