Two days after Möller was sentenced at the court of appeals, the
policeman is again threatened. In a hut at the landlot where he has his
vegetable garden, somebody puts up a threatening message written with
blood red ink.
Next to the message there is an apple with a kind of firework stuck into
it.
In May 1998, three other Hells Angels members-Niklas Karmhag, Jonas
Granborg and Jimmy Jonsson-commit a serious crime. They kidnap a
businessman and his brother and assault them, to get them to cancel a
claim. The businessman contacts the police and tells them how he and his
brother were forced to dig their own graves at a deserted place outside
town. About two months later, a remote triggered bomb explodes under his
car when he stops at a red light. The man suffers profound injuries.
The police is still investigating the crime and the businessman has gone
underground.
In the summer of 1998, a serious crime is committed by Rickard Grener, a
member of the Hells Angels.
He seriously abuses a person physically. A policeman witnesses the
incident and apprehends Grener. He is under arrest for some time and last
December is sentenced, among other charges, for assault.
The policeman present when the crime took place is a witness at the
trial. When his deposition is over, Grener asks him where he lives. The
judge stops the question.
Later on, another unknown person contacts the central automobile database
and asks questions about the policeman's car. The person also asks
questions about the prosecutor in Grener's case. On January 5 this year,
the car is blown up. The same week the prosecutor's summer house is set
on fire.
The climax of the violence and threat wave is the car bomb in Malmö, on
July 1. The police suspect that the bomb is a revenge for an action
against the so-called Hells Angels tail, a group of people that move in
the circles around the mc club.
But the deeds do not end here.
In the early hours of August 24, a policeman responsible for the work
against criminal mc gangs is woken up by a crash. Someone has thrown a
large stone into his living room.
Higher status from committing crimes
On September 12, a correctional officer at Kumla prison is next. Somebody
shoots at his house with an automatic weapon. Ten days earlier, the man
was threatened by a Hells Angels member at the prison, when he refused to
let the prisoner receive visitors.
The Nazi groups are structured in about the same way as the mc gangs. The
members get higher status by committing various types of criminal actions.
This is said by Peter Torstensson, who is a local policeman i Grums in
Värmland. He has earlier worked in Stockholm and Rinkeby and has closely
encountered mc criminality as well as racist criminality. When he moved
home to Värmland he thought that it would be calmer. One or another
bootlegger, but no Nazi.
That was not the case.
Last summer he was commanded to an unruly dance event in one of the local
amusement halls. Ten or so high school boys with Nazi sympathies had
amused themselves by pestering an immigrant boy of the same age. It
should have been a routine job.
But the young Nazis became very aggressive.
-The Nazi boys were hailing the murders in Malexander and made Nazi
salutations. They shouted "Hail Malexander" and threatened to shoot us
and blow up our cars, says Peter Torstensson.
He has seen how they Nazis are "holding their tails significantly higher"
after the Malexander murders.
-I have always liked my job as a police officer, but I am thinking more
and more about my choice of profession. I feel that few are taking us
seriously when we tell them about what is happening out here.
Three Nazis in the ages of 16-17 years were sentenced one month ago by
the local court (Karlstad tingsrätt) for persecution of ethnic groups and
for threatening the policemen in Grums. The sentences vary from 20 to 40
hours of juvenile service and also include care within the social service.
The incidents in Grums are in a way typical for the Nazi mobilisation in
Sweden. Action-groups are organised in small towns among identity seeking
individuals.
- Pay attention to this man. Something will happen to him. We have to get
him if he pulls this through. Find out his name, mark him.
Thomas Möller, leader of Hells Angels
