On paper, he looked ordinary. A polite, steady security guard doing night shifts in Uppsala. In reality, he was living two lives—one inside Sweden’s largest security company, the other inside Rawa Majid’s notorious Foxtrot network.
The case, uncovered by SVT’s Uppdrag granskning, shows just how deep criminal gangs are willing to dig into the institutions meant to protect the public.
The double life
For years, the man wore the Securitas uniform. He wasn’t in a high-security post, but he had access, mobility, and trust. At the same time, sources say he was arranging transports, lining up contractors, and moving money for Foxtrot.
His name even surfaces in a 2023 drug investigation. Prosecutors describe him as a go-between for payments, shuttling money between a Foxtrot leader and a driver. Records show he transferred funds directly to the driver on key dates.
It doesn’t stop there. His own brother has already been convicted of preparing an arson attack against the family of rival gang leader Ismail Abdo during Foxtrot’s bloody civil war.
Securitas caught off guard
All of this was sitting in public court documents. But Securitas, an international security giant, had no idea until journalists confronted them.
“I am appalled. We do not want unsuitable individuals with us, so we immediately started investigating it and have taken action,” said Rolf Joutsijärvi, Security Manager at Securitas.
The company now faces tough questions about how one of Sweden’s most dangerous networks managed to plant an insider on their payroll for years.
More than a gang problem
Foxtrot’s infiltration isn’t just about drugs and money. Rawa Majid has built ties to Iran, raising alarms at Säpo, Sweden’s security service. Guards at security firms are potential assets for foreign powers. Norway recently charged one with espionage.
That’s why Säpo chief Charlotte von Essen reacted sharply when told of the findings.
“This is very serious. It must be our ambition that we identify individuals who should not have these jobs,” she said.
Silence from the inside
The man at the centre of the investigation was given a chance to respond. He chose not to comment.
What remains is the chilling reminder that criminal networks don’t just fight on the streets. They slip into uniforms, pass background checks, and wait for their moment.
