The Afghans’ plan: Open fire in the Riksdag – and ‘kill at least ten'

Translated from “Afghanernas plan: Öppna eld i riksdagen – och ‘döda minst tio,'” Fria Tider, November 28, 2024:

Domestic. Two Afghans with connections to the terrorist group IS-K are on trial in Germany – suspected of plans to carry out a terrorist attack against Sweden’s parliament and kill at least ten people.

The oldest of the defendants, a 30-year-old, has admitted to the plans during the ongoing trial in Germany.

He states that he was brainwashed by the Islamic State and was motivated by the Koran burnings in Sweden.

The goal was to kill “at least ten” people inside the Riksdag, but he never got hold of any weapons. However, he had time to do research on the Riksdag house, according to Sveriges Radio, which reports directly from the trial.

Both the 30-year-old and a co-accused 23-year-old man were prepared to sacrifice their lives in the attack. The evidence against the men includes, among other things, conversations from the messaging app Telegram.

According to the investigation, the suspected Afghans have been in contact with IS supporters based in Iran and a controversial terrorist group called the Islamic State of Khorasan Province (IS-K). This group is active in Central Asia and is believed to have controlled parts of the planning, writes MDR.

The evidence includes conversations where one of the men was asked to shave off his beard to avoid raising suspicions in connection with the terrorist act.

The Afghans were observed by German security services trying to buy weapons on a black market near the Czech city of Karlsbad. The incident, along with the discovery of chats and terror plots in their seized cellphones, led to their arrest in March 2024.

The search also revealed that the Afghans had collected money to support imprisoned IS members in Syria, money that was transferred through Iranian banks.

And did they collect such money through the German welfare system?

Of course, they got into The Netherlands because they seemed like such a nice family at the time!!!

It's hard to stop the rush toward becoming a Narco State when you keep inviting Eastern Europe's drug traffickers and murderers into civilized countries.

Dubai arrests two Dutch alleged drug traffickers,

including Ridouan Taghi’s son

The police in Dubai have arrested two Dutch wanted for drug trafficking in two, separate arrests. One is Ridouan Taghi’s son, the other is a man wanted for drug trafficking in Belgium.

Ridouan Taghi

Sources in the judiciary told the Telegraaf on Thursday that Taghi’s son Adil was arrested in Dubai last week and is now being detained in an unknown location in the United Arab Emirates.

A spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service (OM) could not confirm the arrest to the newspaper but did say that if Adil was arrested, it was not at the Netherlands’ request. That could mean his arrest came at the request of another country or as a result of an investigation in the UAE. Lawyers who represent several Dutch people in the UAE told the newspaper that Taghi’s son is accused of money laundering and participation in a criminal organization.

Another of Taghi’s sons, Faisal, was arrested in Dubai at the Netherlands’ request last year. He is suspected of drug trafficking, money laundering, and preparing for violent crimes. The Dutch authorities consider Faissal a key figure in his father’s criminal organization. He has been extradited to the Netherlands and is currently detained in the high-security prison in Vught, where his father is also imprisoned. The two aren’t allowed contact.

Separately, the Dubai police also arrested Stefan Papic, a 28-year-old Bosnian-Dutchman wanted for involvement in the Kriva Rochem case revolving around large-scale cocaine trafficking in Belgium, PZC reported.

Papic was arrested along with the Belgian drug baron Othman El Ballouti (36) in Dubai, according to the newspaper. The Bosnian-Dutchman is known as the right-hand man of Flor Bressers (37), the main suspect in the Kriva Rochem case.

The Belgian authorities have been hunting for Papic for years for his involvement in trafficking cocaine from Brazil to Belgium via an Antwerp water purification company.

Papic is also linked to a money laundering operation that ran via an art gallery connected to his family. According to PZC, this investigation is part of a larger probe into a Balkan cartel with ties to several big names in the criminal world, including Ridouan Taghi and Raffaele Imperiale.

The Belgian prosecutor has requested Papic’s extradition to stand trial in the Kriva Rochem case along with Flor and several other co-defendants. It is unclear when this will happen.

Myanmar, Cambodia centers for slave-run, industrial scale, online scamming in South Asia

 

Inside Cambodia's cyber-scam centres,

where workers are victims of human trafficking

From the show

It’s happened to us all: a message arrives on our phone that looks genuine but turns out to be a scam. The internet has enabled scammers worldwide to find and contact potential victims. In Southeast Asia, the problem has reached alarming proportions and generates billions of dollars. FRANCE 24's William de Tamaris, Aruna Popuri and Justin McCurry report from Cambodia and the Myanmar border. 

Warning: this report contains graphic content.  

In Southeast Asia, hundreds of thousands of people are employed by online scam centres to extract as much money as possible from victims. Mainly based in Cambodia and Myanmar, these cyber-scam hubs generate billions of dollars.

But the employees, too, are victims. They are trafficked by Chinese mafia groups as cheap labour. These workers are tortured, deprived of food and threatened with sexual abuse to force them to work.

Our reporters managed to get to the heart of one scamming operation and speak to some of the people whose lives have been ruined but who managed to escape.

Tren de Aragua > The criminal gang that is taking over America, "like MS13 on steroids"

 

Further to "Who will conquer America first" 

How migrant gang Tren de Aragua became

a vicious criminal force across America:

‘They’re coming and they’re taking over’

A one-time Venezuelan prison gang has erupted into a multinational migrant crime syndicate that is ravaging the US — and is the subject of more than 100 police investigations across the nation.

Tren de Aragua, a vicious South American gang that sneaked into the US among the millions of migrants who have crossed the border, is peddling drugs, guns and women across the 50 states — from urban centers like New York and Chicago to Florida beaches and once-tranquil Middle America.

In Colorado, the gang even got a “green light” to shoot at cops, according to a federal memo.

“I would say that like six months ago, their organized presence wasn’t so obvious on the border,” a Texas law enforcement source told The Post. “But now they’re getting organized and they’re staying.

They’re taking over hotels, they’re taking over apartment complexes. That’s their MO. They’re coming and they’re taking over.”

One federal official described the gang as “MS-13 on steroids” — a reference to the brutal Salvadoran street gang that has terrorized communities on Long Island and elsewhere in recent years, according to a new report on the marauding migrants by the Wall Street Journal.

“It’s a certainty that the Tren has expanded,” another source told the outlet. “And they have a big market for narco-trafficking in the US.”

The gang’s tentacles have cut deep into the country in a matter of months, with gangbangers recruiting members inside tax-funded migrant shelters set up to handle the overflow of asylum seekers.

Hampering law enforcement efforts to curtail the gang’s violence are the “sanctuary city” policies in left-leaning hubs like Chicago and the Big Apple — with local pols refusing to work with federal immigration.

“Sanctuary states and cities do not share any information with immigration authorities,” one source with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Post on Thursday.

“Local police department arrests don’t lead to detainers from ICE, which in turn do not lead to arrests by ICE,” the source said. “They do not contact us when they find out the subject is possibly illegal.

“That is where the difficulty lies.”

Among the recent hotspots hampered by Tren violence is Chicago, where gang member Jean Franco Torres-Roman, 21, was nabbed trying to stash a gun at a shooting and was seen dumping 43 rounds of ammunition under a nearby garbage can, according to a police report.

But a Cook County judge cut him loose — allowing Roman to flee to Denver, where he went on to terrorize workers at a jewelry store, pistol-whipping several before making off with stolen gems.

In Denver, four Venezuelan migrants with ties to the gang were indicted last week in the violent armed robbery of another jewelry store — including two with busts in other states.

Three of the alleged gangbangers — Oswaldo Lozada-Solis, 23, Jesus Daniel Lara Del Toro, 20, and Torres-Roman — were charged with armed robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announced Wednesday.

The fourth, Edwuimar Nazareth Colina-Romero, 18, was charged with transporting stolen goods and possession of stolen goods.

In late August, Colorado cops also busted four people linked to the gang at the Ivy Crossing apartments in Denver, where they seized 750 counterfeit pills, ketamine and a stolen car.

Cops in Aurora, Colorado, have arrested 10 confirmed members of Tren de Aragua in recent months.

Gang members have taken over apartment complexes in the quiet Denver suburb. Among them is Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirinos, who goes by “Galleta” — Spanish for “Cookie” — and is known as Tren de Aragua’s “shot-caller” in the region.

In November 2023, Pacheco-Chirinos and other Tren hoods brutally beat a man at the since-shuttered Fitzsimons Place apartment complex.

Inexplicably released, he and his brother were busted in July for a shooting that wounded two people.

In Athens, Georgia, Tren de Aragua member Jose Ibarra, 26, was charged with killing 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley in February, smashing her head and “asphyxiating her” as she jogged in the area.

Ibarra had already been in New York after crossing the border in September 2022, where he had been arrested but released, allowing him to make his way to Georgia to join his brother — and kill Riley.

In Miami, alleged Tren killer Yurwin Salazar Maita is charged with the November slaying of a retired Venezuelan cop, Jose Luis Sanchez, who was lured to his death by prostitutes in April 2023.

Sanchez’s body was found in a car with his hands and feet bound with tape.

One unlikely Tren stronghold has been Praire du Chien, Wisconsin, where gang member Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate was busted last week for allegedly brutalizing a woman and her daughter.

Coronel Zarate, 26, is accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman “under particularly brutal circumstances,” holding the woman and daughter against their will and “over the course of a period of time sexually and physically assaulting them both,” Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor said.

Like other gangbangers, Coronel Zarate had already been in custody after getting busted in Minneapolis for possession of stolen goods and was even named on a Wisconsin warrant for false imprisonment.

Prairie du Chien police said Coronel Zarate had only entered the US a year ago.

Despite branching out, Tren de Aragua has also remained a presence near the US border.

El Paso, Texas, has served as the main waypoint for members to enter the country.

Multiple Tren de Aragua members were caught at a Motel 6 along with the jewelry store robbers. They’ve also taken over the Gateway hotel, engaging in fighting, drinking and hard-partying behavior, according to law enforcement sources.

“There should be concern due to the establishment and rise of the Venezuelan criminal organization ‘Tren de Aragua’ at the Gateway Hotel. We discovered several Venezuelans have the tattoo identifiers of Tren de Aragua,” one El Paso cop said of the conditions, according to local news outlet KVIA.

The Post also identified several migrants with potential Tren de Aragua tattoos on the streets of El Paso in March, an early warning sign of their march into the US.

The trademark tattoos, bizarrely, include images of bulls and the number “23” once worn by Chicago Bulls basketball legend Michael Jordan — perhaps in homage to the gang’s early grip on the Windy City.

The gang itself is named after the Venezuelan state of Aragua, where the gang grew from a crew of inmates who took control of a local prison and slowly expanded to neighboring Colombia and Chile starting around 2018.

Ruthless in its operations, Tren sold drugs and became involved in prostitution and human trafficking.

With the US border growing more porous in recent years, Tren de Aragua operatives flocked north with the nearly 8 million Venezuelans fleeing strongman Nicolas Maduro.

Once inside the country, the marauding migrants began recruiting from within American shelters, enlisting armies of moped-riding crooks in the Big Apple and elsewhere.

Within months, the enterprise grew, and now Tren operatives are involved in widespread drug trafficking in the US, while also selling guns and women in seedy red-light districts in major cities.

In one Denver suburb, the gang has turned a quiet bedroom community into a war zone — even taking over apartment buildings and forcing legal tenants to flee.

“We are not a border state, but we’re dealing with the fallout of a failed immigration policy and trying to do our best in trying to keep our citizens safe, and immigrants,” Aurora District Attorney John Kellner told The Post this week.
