The 39-year-old is one of four men sentenced in the district court to life imprisonment for the gang murder in the Old Town in Gothenburg.
He was previously involved in running Vår krog och bar in Gothenburg, which in 2015 was subjected to a notorious fatal shooting.
Shortly afterwards, he spoke out in the media.
Just over six years later, the 39-year-old has now been convicted of aiding and abetting murder, preparation for murder and a felony.
According to the verdict, he was deeply involved in the planning of the murder in the Old Town, when a 33-year-old man was shot with nine shots in the open street.
The murder was assumed early on by the police to have a connection to the conflict between the A and B phalanxes in Biskopsgården and the 33-year-old is considered to have been a leading figure in the B phalanx.
Although the 39-year-old according to the district court is not part of the conflict between the phalanxes, the police investigation shows that he was very much involved in the planning of the murder.
Conversations from Encrochat show how he must have looked for a torpedo that could kill the 33-year-old and offered half a million kronor to the person who committed the murder.
He has admitted in interrogation that more people from the B-phalanx would be killed because he felt threatened.
Picked up ammunition at a restaurant
Barely three weeks before the murder, the 39-year-old agreed to buy ammunition, which he picked up at a restaurant.
"I have the shots now.
100 pcs.
Do we have shooters? ”He writes the same day in an Encrochatt message to Sebastian Jobe - another of the men sentenced to life.
Provided automatic weapons
According to the verdict, the 39-year-old arranged for a Kalashnikov and made sure that the weapon could be stored in a garage before it was used in the murder.
Encrochat conversations show how the 39-year-old on the day of the murder received word from others involved that the weapon would be placed in a car on a street in Eriksberg.
Arrested after cocaine attack
Barely a month after the murder, the police in Gothenburg, after drug searches, found almost half a kilo of cocaine with a particularly high degree of purity in a car in which the 39-year-old was sitting, and he was arrested.
More drugs and cash were found in his home.
His involvement in the gang murder was investigated in parallel with the drug case, for which he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison - a sentence he began serving before the life sentence.
The 39-year-old has admitted to promoting the murder, but denies the crime.
He denies the allegations of preparation for murder and aggravated assault.
