A Norwegian teenager is on trial in London accused of travelling to the UK to carry out a contract killing on behalf of a Swedish organised crime network allegedly linked to Iran.
Prosecutors at the Central Criminal Court in England and Wales, known as the Old Bailey, say 19-year-old Johannes Natland flew from Norway to Britain in March 2024 after agreeing to commit the murder of an unidentified target in exchange for money.
They allege he was recruited by the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish criminal organisation which the prosecution says has been used by the Iranian regime.
