Abstract [en]

Law enforcement in Sweden, and several other European countries, gained access to the content of chats between users of encrypted PGP-phone services. The contents of the chats led to the prosecution of members from 60 criminal groups for aggravated drug offenses, homicides, and more. I use the contents of court documents from 146 lower court and 85 higher court cases, to map the aggravated drugs offenses and violence committed by each group. For the drug offenses, I describe severity of offending, and detail which drug types each group sold. For the violence, I count the types of violence, with a focus on the homicides they committed, planned, and had others commit on their behalf. This material constitutes a more representative sample of criminal group offending than usual because the evidence was not from police-initiated investigations, that could result in a sample of less-capable offenders.
