伦敦讯——一名19岁挪威男子因受一个因与伊朗有关联而遭美国和英国制裁的瑞典犯罪集团指使前往英国实施谋杀，已被判定有罪。
伦敦大都会警察局在一份声明中表示，经英国反恐官员调查及为期两周的庭审后，约翰内斯·孔斯尼斯·纳特兰因谋杀共谋罪名成立。警方称，纳特兰此前已承认两项与枪支和弹药持有相关的罪名。
警方表示，他去年在英格兰北部哈德斯菲尔德的一家酒店被捕，当时他18岁。警方在他床下的塑料袋中发现了一把半自动手枪、一把左轮手枪以及多枚实弹。
根据英国皇家检察署的信息，纳特兰于2025年3月17日持紧急护照从家乡斯塔万格飞往曼彻斯特机场，距原定暗杀行动仅两天。
在警方公布的2025年3月19日凌晨的随身摄像头录像中，纳特兰赤裸上身从房间走出，对着一名枪械警官做出开枪手势，随后被按在墙上。
暗杀目标仍未公开，但警方表示“大量证据”表明“纳特兰完全清楚自己受雇杀人”。调查仍在进行中。

“这是一起精心策划的有偿杀人计划，”英国皇家检察署特别犯罪与反恐部门负责人弗兰克·弗格森说道。

“约翰内斯·纳特兰前往英国时年仅18岁，他已同意为他人谋取钱财实施谋杀，”弗格森表示。“此案表明有组织犯罪网络如何跨境运作，并利用年轻人实施严重暴力犯罪。”
警方称，纳特兰受一个名为“狐步舞网络”的瑞典有组织犯罪集团指派实施暗杀。该集团及其头目拉瓦·马吉德因代表伊朗政权在欧洲针对以色列和犹太目标实施暴力行为，已遭英国和美国制裁。
据英国皇家检察署介绍，狐步舞网络涉及毒品走私和暴力犯罪，其任务（通常是跨境任务）会在Snapchat、Telegram和Signal等平台的群组聊天中发布。
该集团经常利用非常年轻的作案者，英国皇家检察署称。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的合作机构英国广播公司报道，他们开创了雇佣青少年刺客的先例。欧盟刑警组织将此称为“暴力即服务”。
据英国皇家检察署透露，一名17岁男子因招募纳特兰参与此次共谋在挪威受审并被判处14年监禁，另有一名16岁男子因参与该阴谋正在挪威等待审判。
“执行一项疯狂任务”
警方对纳特兰的电子通讯分析显示，他在挪威期间收到社交媒体私信，询问他是否愿意在英国实施枪击。报酬为2.8万美元。
一名昵称为“47号特工”的人将暗杀地点描述为“大不列颠。再简单不过了。”
出发前，纳特兰告诉女友他要“执行一项疯狂任务”。他告诉女友自己要去杀人，并称生活将“变得美好”。
47号特工告知纳特兰前往英国的航班，并指引他前往哈德斯菲尔德的一处地址，纳特兰在那里领取了部分钱款。
警方称，随后他得到了入住酒店的信息。
手机短信显示，他收到了具体指示，包括地图、照片和视频，以找到藏有枪支的袋子。
酒店和机场的监控录像显示，他乘坐出租车前往一片树林地带，在那里取到了枪支。
纳特兰随后给女友发消息称“袋子里是家伙”，并给她发送了一张自己手持其中一把枪的照片，配文“很快就会动手”。
他还将枪支照片发给了在挪威的朋友。
其中一名朋友问他是否“测试过武器”。
“绝对没有，”纳特兰回复道。“会在目标身上测试。”
他被捕前收到的最后一条短信内容为：“我们明天有很多事要做。”
在法庭上，纳特兰辩称，他原本打算“朝自己的脚开枪”，以逃避拒绝任务的后果。他将于10月在中央刑事法庭接受宣判。
Norwegian teen found guilty of U.K. murder plot for Swedish organized crime group with links to Iran

London — A 19-year-old Norwegian has been found guilty of traveling to England to kill someone on behalf of a Swedish crime group that is under U.S. and U.K. sanctions for its links to Iran.
Johannes Kongsnes Natland was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder after an investigation by British counterterrorism officers and a two-week trial, London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement. Natland had already admitted to two offenses related to gun and ammunition possession, police said.
He was arrested at a hotel in Huddersfield, in the north of England, last year, when he was 18. A semi-automatic pistol and a revolver were found in a plastic bag under his bed, along with rounds of live ammunition, police said.
Natland had flown into Manchester Airport on an emergency passport from Stavanger, his hometown, on March 17, 2025, two days before the hit was planned, according to the Crown Prosecution Service.
In bodycam footage released by police from the early hours of March 19, 2025, Natland emerges topless from his room and mimes a shooting gesture at a firearms officer before being slammed against a wall.
The target of the assassination remains unknown, but police say “a significant amount of evidence” showed “Natland was fully aware he was being asked to kill someone.” The investigation is ongoing.

“This was a calculated plan to kill for money,” said Frank Ferguson, head of the Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division for the CPS.

“Johannes Natland was just 18 when he travelled to the UK, having agreed to carry out a murder on behalf of others for financial gain,” Ferguson said. “This case shows how organised crime networks operate across borders and exploit young people to carry out serious violence.”
Police say Natland had been tasked with the murder by a Swedish organized crime group called the Foxtrot Network. The group — along with its leader, Rawa Majid — is under British and American sanctions for acts of violence against Israeli and Jewish targets across Europe on behalf of the Iranian regime.
The Foxtrot Network is involved in drug smuggling and violent crimes, according to the CPS, with assignments — which are often cross-border — advertised in group chats on platforms including Snapchat, Telegram and Signal.
The group often uses very young perpetrators, the CPS says. They have pioneered a phenomenon of hiring teen assassins, according to CBS News’ partner network The BBC. Europol calls this “violence-as-a-service.”
A 17-year-old was sentenced to 14 years in a trial in Norway for his role in recruiting Natland to this conspiracy, according to the CPS, while another 16-year-old there is awaiting trial for his role in the plot.
“Going on a crazy mission”
A police analysis of Natland’s digital communications shows that he received social media messages while he was in Norway asking if he wanted to carry out a shooting in the U.K. A $28,000 payment was floated.
Someone with the username “Agent 47” described the location of the hit as “Great Britain. As easy as can be.”
Before leaving, Natland told his girlfriend he was “going on a crazy mission.” He told her he was going to kill someone, and that life would be “wonderful.”
Agent 47 told Natland which flight to board to the U.K. and gave him directions to a Huddersfield address where Natland collected some money.
He was then given the name of a hotel to stay in, police say.
Phone messages show that he was given specific directions, including maps, pictures and videos, to locate the bag of guns.
CCTV from the hotel and airport showed that he traveled by taxi to a wooded area where he picked them up.
Natland then messaged his girlfriend to say “in the bag is bang” and sent her a picture holding one of the guns, with the caption “soon it will happen.”
He also sent photos of the firearms to friends in Norway.
One asked if he had “tested the weapons.”
“Hell no,” Natland replied. “They will be tested on the guy.”
The final message sent to him before his arrest read: “We have much to do tomorrow.”
In court, Natland claimed he was intending to “shoot himself in the foot” to avoid the repercussions of refusing the mission. He will be sentenced at the Old Bailey in October.
