Foxtrot Network是一个与伊朗政权有关的有组织犯罪集团，自2022年以来在欧洲实施约35起谋杀和多起袭击[1]。该组织通过社交媒体向青少年招募，使用游戏化指令方式对他们进行操纵，让未成年人执行暴力任务[1]。欧洲警察组织副主任Andy Kraag将其称为向弱势青少年的"精心计算的谋杀外包"[1]。
该组织首领Rawa Majid现居伊朗德黑兰[1]。英国政府于2025年4月对Foxtrot Network和Majid进行制裁[1]。多国执法部门组成的OTF GRIMM特别工作队涉及11个国家：比利时、丹麦、芬兰、法国、德国、冰岛、荷兰、挪威、西班牙、瑞典和英国[1]。该特别工作队成立15个月内逮捕超过280人，包括关键嫌疑人[1]。
案件中，18岁的Atilla Azimov因枪杀错误目标被判终身监禁[1]。挪威少年Johannes Natland因参与谋杀阴谋在伦敦被陪审团裁定罪成[1]。昵称为"Generalen"的招募人员因企图谋杀挪威警官的14岁儿子，于5月被判14年监禁[1]。
Foxtrot Network, an organized crime group linked to the Iranian regime, has orchestrated approximately 35 murders and multiple attacks across Europe since 2022 by recruiting teenagers through social media to execute violent assignments [1]. The network, led by Rawa Majid who operates from Tehran, Iran, employed gamified instructions to manipulate young operatives into committing crimes [1]. One prominent case involved 18-year-old Atilla Azimov, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for fatally shooting an unintended target [1]. Norwegian teenager Johannes Natland was convicted in London of conspiracy to commit murder, further exposing the organization's transnational criminal infrastructure [1].
The scale of law enforcement response underscores the severity of the threat. The OTF GRIMM task force, spanning 11 countries—Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom—arrested over 280 individuals within 15 months of its establishment [1]. Another notable conviction came in May when Generalen, an accomplice, received a 14-year prison sentence for attempting to recruit a hitman to murder a Norwegian police officer's 14-year-old child [1]. In April 2025, the British government imposed sanctions against both Foxtrot Network and Majid [1]. Europol's deputy director Andy Kraag characterized the operation as "carefully calculated murder outsourcing" targeting vulnerable teenagers [1].
