Foxtrot man Poya Shafie is suspected of having ordered several young people to commit serious acts of violence in Sweden.
Now the trial is being held against him.
The trial against Poya Shafie, 30, began last week and on Tuesday it was time for the second trial day.
Then the prosecutor continues his presentation of the case and where they will go through the suspicions against Poya Shafie. The 30-year-old is said to have been described as one of the leaders of the Foxtrots network and the closest person to the internationally wanted Rawa Majid.
He is suspected of having orchestrated and had a leading role in the wave of violence that swept across Sweden in the winter of 2023. Several acts succeeded each other in what was a conflict between the Foxtrot network and the Dalen network.

For quite some time it was unidentified, but the prosecutors finally cracked the code and now suspect that it was Poya Shafie who used it.
