Norwegian teen found guilty in UK murder plot tied to Iran-linked group

A Norwegian teenager, Johannes Natland, was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder in the UK after being linked to the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish organized crime group allegedly used by the Iranian government. Natland was arrested in Huddersfield with firearms and ammunition in March of the previous year. Prosecutors claimed he was recruited by the Foxtrot Network, which has been sanctioned by both the UK and the US. Natland admitted to possessing weapons but denied involvement in a planned murder, claiming he did not intend to carry out the attack. After a retrial at London’s Old Bailey, he was found guilty of conspiracy to murder, having previously faced a mistrial.
