The Social Democrats’ own investigation considered that the party was not infiltrated by gang criminals in the battle around ABF Botkyrka.
Party leader Magdalena Andersson has since repeated the claim – despite the revelations about the opposite.
Now Expressen can reveal that another gang man who participated in the S-battle in the days was charged with involving a 16-year-old boy in a serious weapons crime.
The power struggle within S in Botkyrka 2023 has caused new debate during the autumn. In a radiogue against S leader Magdalena Andersson, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson used the tours in Botkyrka as an example of how gang criminals infiltrate social structures.
Andersson replied:
– You were looking for if there was something really behind that claim, and you have not found that. So then maybe it is stupid by Ulf Kristersson, who is actually prime minister in Sweden, to spread that rumor.
The article in brief

The indictment: Pulled 16-year-old into crime
The Social Democrats in Botkyrka state that he did not cooperate with the internal investigation that the party did in 2023 as a result of the charges of gang -infiltration, and that an exclusion case was therefore initiated against him. He should not have been a member since then. The investigation’s conclusion was that no infiltration had taken place.
The 30-year-old’s 24-year-old brother was also one of those who were recruited to the Social Democrats and attended the meeting where the then local S-top Ebba Östlin was voted off, according to Expressen.
Now the 24-year-old has also been charged, for involving a 16-year-old boy in a serious weapons crime this summer. The 24-year-old must have taken out SEK 1,500 and participated when the boy received the money, as a payment for delivering a weapon to the criminal Wasabin network where the 24-year-old is included, according to the police investigation. The 24-year-old is also charged with driving a drug drug. He denies crime.
Included in the family circle around ABF-Man
The brothers are part of the circle around a man who had a central role in ABF Botkyrka-Salem, and who is said to have been driven in the internal S-uprising against Ebba Östlin 2023.
According to people on Östlin’s side, the uprising was due to the municipality closed a number of leisure farms run by ABF, since an external report showed, among other things, that they have become a hangout for gang criminals. Östlin’s critics believed that there were flaws in her leadership that led to her being petitioned.
Wasabin network
The Wasabin Network, which the 24-year-old is reported to belong to, has been in conflict for several years with the Botkyrkan network. According to the police, the background is that Wasabi was driving Botkyrka from the local drug market in Alby. The Botkyrkan network remains present in the neighboring towns of Hallunda and Norsborg.
In recent years, the conflict has come to be linked to hostilities between two rappers. This spring, an escalation took place, with a shooting in Alby, threats and mockery in the rappers’ social media, physical fights between the networks of the networks and a hand grenade blast at the Wasabin network’s rap’s address.
