Johannes Natland, a 19-year-old from Stavanger, Norway, was arrested in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, while allegedly attempting to carry out an assassination for the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish gang linked to Iran. The Old Bailey court heard that Natland was recruited for the murder in exchange for over £20,000. Upon his arrival in the UK on March 17, 2022, he was initially questioned by Border Force officials due to his age and lack of funds but was later allowed to leave the airport. After collecting firearms and ammunition from a wooded area, he was arrested on March 19 in a hotel room, where police found a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver, 12 rounds of live ammunition, and £2,000 in cash. Although Natland has pleaded guilty to possession of firearms, he denies conspiracy to murder. The court was informed that the Foxtrot Network has been involved in various violent crimes since its formation in 2021 and recruits young individuals for criminal activities through online platforms.
