In the middle of the rush at T-Centralen, a young man was chased.
When the pursuers caught up with the man, he had a sharp object pressed against his neck.
Now two profiled members of Aktivklubb are charged with illegal threats.
The two men have been singled out as leading members of the Nazi Aktivklubb’s Stockholm branch White Boys.
One of them has already been sentenced to prison after beating a defector from the violent right-wing extremist movement.
The ex-Nazi: That’s why young people are attracted to the active clubs
The other has previously been suspected of a well-known assault, but the preliminary investigation has been closed.
Caught the man
Now both members are charged with illegal threats after an incident at T-Centralen in April 2025.
Then witnesses alerted the police after they saw two people jump on a young man in one of the escalators.
One of them allegedly grabbed the young man’s neck and held a metal star to it. In the meantime, the other must have been filming and laughing, the witness said.
Caught on film
When the police went through SL’s surveillance cameras, they could see the sequence of events. Then they also recognized the profiled Aktivklubb members.
In one of the mobile phones, the police were able to find pictures of the victim.
During the house search at the other man’s house, the police found a so-called and lots of Active Club material. When he has been asked about it in questioning, he has said that it was an ornamental object that he never had outside.
“And I also think that if you look at the film, you don’t see any kind of cult or street fighting weapon or whatever you call it. If it were me standing there,” he said.
Both deny wrongdoing.
“Dangerous persons”
The motive for the incident has not been determined. The guy who was the victim of the violence did not want to participate in the investigation and said that it is because he knows that the perpetrators belong to White Boys and “therefore are dangerous people”.
Active club
The extreme right-wing so-called active clubs are part of a larger international movement that started in the United States, outwardly with a focus on strength training and martial arts.
The network is inspired by the conspiracy theory of a population exchange and wants to see a strengthened “racial awareness” among whites. A warrior ideal is advocated and members are urged to prepare for a coming race war, according to a report by US extremist researchers in Just Security.
The concept has spread quickly and today exists in at least 20 countries with over 100 groups globally and in most American states, according to the organization The Counter Extremism Project.
In Sweden, it took hold in 2023 with the network Aktivklubb Sverige, which functions as an umbrella organization for local clubs.
In an intelligence report in the fall of 2023, the police warned that Aktivklubb Sverige “is judged to have access to weapons and explosive substances and to actively work to improve its fighting ability, including through martial arts training”, according to several media.
In June 2025, the Security Police also warned that young people risk being drawn into the far-right clubs.
According to the foundation Expo’s annual report for 2024, five groups from Skåne up to Hälsingland are included in Aktivklubb Sverige. The number of activities registered by Expo rose sharply last year.
