Police Uncover Extensive Romanian Crime Ring in Finland

9-5-2011 Yle

The organised crime investigation division of Helsinki Police has uncovered an extensive Romanian-operated property crime and prostitution ring. Initial investigations have led to the detention of 68 Romanian citizens, of whom 28 have been remanded in custody.

The group face accusations of crimes committed in various parts of Finland.

In one case, police investigations uncovered a pimping racket operated in several Helsinki restaurants by a Romanian man permanently living in Finland. The women involved in the ring were his relatives.

Police investigations also revealed dozens of property crimes across the country. These were masterminded by a Romanian living in Finland who ordered crooks for the job from Romania. According to Europol, most of those involved were also responsible for crimes across the continent.

Police arrest Romanians in sweep of suspected prostitution ring
Extensive series of thefts also investigated

Helsingin Sanomat 10-5-2011

Police in Helsinki suspect that Romanian professional crime organisations have been behind an extensive series of theft and prostitution in Finland.
A total of 68 Romanian citizens have been detained in connection with the investigations, and 28 have been remanded in custody.
According to the police investigation, one group procured prostitutes for customers in a number of restaurants in the centre of Helsinki.

The suspected leader of the prostitution ring is a Romanian citizen who lives permanently in Finland. Police say that he recruited both the pimps and the prostitutes from his home country.
The police say that all six of the pimps are related to each other. Five of them are now behind bars on suspicion of aggravated procurement of sex services.
According to the investigators, between five and ten prostitutes were in Finland at any one time. They said during questioning that they had serviced one or two Finnish customers in an evening. The youngest of the women was 19 years old.

The head of the drug crime unit of the Helsinki police, Jari Aarnio, says that the group had planned to expand its activities to other large cities in Finland as well.
Investigators have found evidence that the organisation had sent at least EUR 72,000 in proceeds back to Romania, but police believe that much larger sums of money were involved.

Another group of suspected criminals from Romania are believed to have robbed homes and jewellery stores in different parts of Finland.
“Helsinki is the central location, but crimes have been committed all around Finland”, Aarnio says.
The group of robbers is also believed to have a Romanian leader who lives in Helsinki. Police say that the person in question organised the travel of the perpetrators and arranged accommodation.

Aarnio emphasises that the group has nothing to do with the Roma beggars in Helsinki.
During the investigation so far, the police have recovered EUR 115,000 worth of stolen goods.
Police say that the leaders of both the prostitution organisation and the theft group know each other, and that the real leaders are still in Romania. “The matter is being investigated in cooperation with Romanian officials”, he says.

Some of those arrested in Finland have criminal records in different parts of Europe, and police believe that the activity is ongoing.

Police sting nets almost 1 ton hash

From Morocco to Næstved – caught red handed.

Five months of investigation have now culminated in 14 arrests and the confiscation of almost a ton of hash, according to police who have unearthed a Danish hash smuggling organisation.

The case started when police received information from Morocco that a ship carrying hash was on its way to Denmark.

“The Moroccan authorities arrested two Danes on the ship. The investigation in Denmark was intensified and led to a Danish narcotics organisation,” the police release says.

Investigations included monitoring several smaller hash deliveries, leading police to the Ringsted area.

“In an industrial area police were able yesterday morning to arrest three people who were in the process of re-loading cardboard boxes full of hash from one vehicle to another,” the police statement says.

That sting netted 520 kilogrammes, while another operation at a nearby lay-by turned up another 70 kilos which were being handed over.

“One of the two people were connected to a farm in the Næstved area. When police visited the farm they found another 100 kilos of hash, a pistol and DKK 2.1 million,” the release says.

Several other locations have since been raided, bringing the number of arrestees to 14and the amount of hash and cash confiscated to 907 kilogrammes and DKK 2.3 million.

The police spokesman tells TV2 that those arrested do not have a biker background.

'Fez Fez' expelled from country

Wednesday, 12 October 2011

Convicted drug dealer and gang member Mahmoud Khalil Salem, otherwise known as 'Fez Fez', has been expelled from Denmark by the Supreme Court.

Earlier this year, in an evenly split decision, the Western High Court ruled that the 41-year-old from Odense, who has lived in Denmark for nearly 20 years and is currently serving a six-year prison sentence, could not be deported out of consideration for his wife and eight children who reside in Denmark.

The Supreme Court today overturned that lower court ruling, with six judges ruling for deportation and the seventh recommending a so-called ‘suspended deportation’.

The Supreme Court judges noted that they had taken the well-being of Fez Fez’s wife and eight children into consideration in their ruling. Fez Fez’s wife has said that she and the children will remain in Denmark.

The Supreme Court also noted that Fez Fez had not simply broken the law once or twice, but is a hardened criminal who made little or no effort to integrate into Danish society and maintained tight connections to family in Lebanon and Syria.

He has had “a central and leading role in carrying out sustained, organised and brutish drug crimes”, the judges wrote in their remarks.

They noted that he speaks poor Danish, although he has lived here for almost 20 years, and that the family only speaks Arabic at home, communicating with and sending money to relatives in Lebanon and Syria on a regular basis.

Fez Fez moved to Denmark from Lebanon in 1993, but is a stateless Palestinian. Since 2004 he has had state disability status and collected disability welfare checks. Police discovered that he had, however, sent approximately 71,000 kroner to family members in both Lebanon and the Palestine territories. In addition, police documented that he was trying to buy a flat in Damascus at the time of his arrest in 2009.

Fez Fez was cited by the Danish People’s Party (DF) earlier in the year as a model example of why immigrant criminals ought to be deported.

Now the Supreme Court has agreed, but whether he can actually be deported to Lebanon or Syria is still unknown. His lawyer, Michael Juul Eriksen, does not expect that either country will take him, and as he is a stateless Palestinian, neither country is obligated to do so.

Fez Fez could therefore end up living in Denmark’s asylum centre, Sandholm.

Eriksen said on Wednesday afternoon that he would now try to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

Two other cases to expel two convicted immigrant criminals who moved to Denmark as children – an Armenian and a Bosnian, both in their early twenties – are currently pending in the Danish courts.

Black Cobra gang quitting Sweden: report

Published: 21 May 2012

The feared Black Cobra criminal gang is abandoning Sweden in the wake of a police crackdown on organized crime in the country.

According to the Sydsvenskan newspaper, the Black Cobras' decision to shutter its chapter in Skåne in southern Sweden is the gang's first step in leaving Sweden altogether.

Other Black Cobra chapters in Stockholm, Uppsala, and Eskilstuna in central Sweden will likely remain operational for a time.

The move comes following efforts by police to step up their offensive against organized criminal gangs in Sweden.

Many of the Black Cobras' top leaders in Sweden are now behind bars, according to Sydsvenskan

According to Sydsvenskan the Black Cobras, a Denmark-based gang which established itself in Sweden in 2005, currently has about 200 active members.

But sources tell the paper that the members responsible for establishing the gang in Sweden have since developed "other interests" such as having children and creating families.

The fact that the gang is abandoning its trademark snake-emblazoned logo is viewed as a success story for police, according to Linda Haddemo, a spokesperson for the Malmö police's anti-gang unit.

She emphasized, however, that the police would continue to keep up the pressure on Sweden's organized criminal gangs, regardless of what logo the members are wearing.

"You have to understand that these individuals don't just disappear. They are still out there and are probably going to continue to be involved in criminal activities," she told the TT news agency.

Lars Öjelind with Sweden's National Bureau of Investigation (Rikskriminalpolisen) estimates that about 700 people in Sweden have some sort of gang affiliation.

"Some are only in the early phases of their criminal careers while others are seasoned criminals," he said.

"The shirt they are wearing doesn't matter to us in our work. For us, it's always about the individuals."

One positive outcome from the Black Cobras' decision to quit the Sweden gang scene is a possible reduction in recruitment of new members.

"Now is the time to push those who have no affiliation to move in the right direction," he said.
