19岁的挪威少年约翰内斯·孔斯内斯·纳特兰在伦敦中央刑事法院被判谋杀阴谋罪成立[1][2]。他曾同意为与伊朗政府有关联的国际犯罪团伙Foxtrot Network执行雇佣杀手任务，酬金为25000欧元[1][2]。陪审团经过17小时6分钟的评议后做出有罪裁定[2]。
纳特兰于2025年3月18日凌晨在英国西约克郡哈德斯菲尔德的酒店被武装警察逮捕[2]。警方在其房间缴获了一支半自动手枪、一支左轮手枪、19发子弹以及2000英镑现金[2]。检控官理查德森在法庭上表示，"这个被告是一位陷入困境但危险的年轻人，一个同意为了金钱在外国杀人的年轻人"[2]。纳特兰曾在短信中告诉女友"我要去执行疯狂的任务。杀死某人有点酷。如果我没被抓住，我们必须庆祝"[2]。
据报道，招募纳特兰的是一名17岁自称"Generalen"的个人，该人已在挪威被判处14年监禁[1]。犯罪团伙Foxtrot Network是一个与伊朗政府有联系的瑞典有组织犯罪集团[2]。纳特兰将于2025年10月被判刑[2]。
A 19-year-old Norwegian named Johannes Kongsnes Natland has been found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder at London's Central Criminal Court [2]. Natland agreed to carry out a contract killing for an international criminal organization linked to the Iranian government in exchange for €25,000 [1][2]. He traveled to the United Kingdom but was arrested just two days after his arrival in March 2025 at a hotel in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, where armed police recovered two firearms and ammunition from him [2].
The jury deliberated for 17 hours and 6 minutes before reaching their guilty verdict [2]. According to prosecutors, Natland sent a text message to his girlfriend stating, "I'm going on crazy mission. It will be a bit cool to kill someone. If I don't get caught we have to celebrate" [2]. Prosecutors characterized him as "a troubled but dangerous young man. A young man who agreed to kill in a foreign country for money" [2]. Natland will be sentenced in October 2025 [2].
The criminal organization responsible for recruiting Natland is the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish organized crime group with connections to the Iranian government [1][2]. The teenager was recruited by a 17-year-old known as "Generalen," who has already been sentenced to 14 years in prison in Norway [1].
