Two men belonging to the neo-Nazi and violent group Aktivklubb Sverige have been sentenced for aggravated assault. An additional four men from the group, which includes the son of Migration Minister Johan Forsell, are in custody for racist attacks, according to an investigation by Dagens ETC.
On Thursday, the two men were sentenced to one and a half years in prison each for aggravated assault. The district court confirmed that the men are undoubtedly part of and active in White Boys, the Stockholm section of Aktivklubb Sverige—the same organization in which Migration Minister Johan Forsell's (M) son participated.
Four more men—identified by ETC's investigation as belonging to the far-right group—are in custody, suspected of violent acts that occurred in August this year, where three different individuals were assaulted within half an hour. The men are suspected of shouting racist slurs and performing the 'sieg heil' salute while beating and kicking the victims, the newspaper reports. The acts are being investigated as hate crimes.
Dagens ETC has mapped 43 men across the country who are connected to the violent group. The average age of these individuals is 21 years.
