Södertäljenätverket also known as the Syriac mafia is an Assyrian–Syriac/Aramaic criminal organisation, according to some testimonials to have 75–100 people, based in Södertälje.The criminal organization is based on family, kinship and the notion of a common origin. There is not a single person or a particular family that leads the organization, which is based on a tradition of cooperationand exchange of services within and between the families.[2] [3] In September 2014 the Svea Court of Appeal in Stockholm confirmed the existence of a criminal organisation in Södertälje, with an extensive power structure with ramifications into politics and the welfare sector.[4] According to Police information in October 2019, the organisation is still growing and gaining more power.[5]
