Trial of Four Young Men Linked to Nazi Group Continues for August 2025 Stockholm Assaults

Four young men aged between 20 and 24 stand trial at Stockholm District Court for a series of racially motivated violent assaults that took place in August 2025. The accused are connected to the extremist Nazi-affiliated group Aktivklubb Sverige and face charges including aggravated assault and robbery. Victims described severe injuries and lasting trauma resulting from the attacks, with one victim, Mohammed Aluaudt Allah, suffering a concussion and losing front teeth during the assault. Surveillance footage presented in court shows unprovoked violence, Nazi salutes, and one incident where a man was struck with an umbrella and robbed.

During the second day of the trial, the defendants spoke in court, mostly providing brief but articulate responses and sticking to narratives that emphasized self-defense and lack of intent to target victims based on ethnicity. One defendant described the night's events as a casual outing for drinks, denying any pre-planning of attacks. Despite their affiliations with groups like Aktivklubb and White boys, the accused deny holding extremist views, although police found Nazi literature, such as Hitler's 'Mein Kampf,' in one home.

One of the defendants stated that his involvement with Aktivklubb was about self-improvement: "My main focus is to develop myself physically and mentally" and described the group as helping members "become a better version of themselves." However, victims recounted that the attackers appeared to take pleasure in the violence, contradicting the defendants' claims.

The accused mostly refrained from discussing the actions of others in their group, maintaining a level of silence on their co-defendants. The trial continues as testimonies unfold and the court examines all evidence, including surveillance footage and victim accounts, to determine the circumstances and intent behind the violent night in Stockholm.
