 | As a result of the Iraq war, a wave of Christian refugees arrived in Södertälje. The housing shortage created a criminal opportunity and Khouri's gang stepped up. Illegally subletting of social housing exploded with 10 sleeping to a bedroom. Khouri and his crew were there to lend money and make sure people paid their rent on time.
The first murder was part of a turf war between rival gangs. A few months later, the murdered man's brothers Yaacoub and Eddie Moussa, the footballer, were slaughtered at the same sports centre. Two gunmen stormed the building with a Kalashnikov and a pistol. Yaacoub Moussa was shot 14 times, Eddie Moussa 17. |  |
