He has hunted 'Scar' for several years: 'Incredibly satisfying'

Ildar Galiyev, also known as 'Scar', has been extradited to Sweden after serving time in Greece and will now face justice for serious crimes including murder and bombings.

Ildar Galiyev, infamously known as 'Scar', is a leading figure of the Dalen network, known for his significant criminal activities. After spending 20 months in a Greek prison, he has been extradited to Sweden where he faces serious charges, including over 20 counts of severe crimes for which he has been in absentia arrested. Prosecutor Mats Ihlbom stated that this is one of the most serious cases he has handled due to the multitude of grave offenses involved.

The process of extraditing Galiyev has been lengthy since his arrest in Greece in the summer of 2024, but Swedish authorities have been determined to bring him to justice. While imprisoned in Greece, it was reported that Galiyev was moved to a higher security facility as the initial prison had 'revolving doors' that allowed for illicit activities. There were claims that he had access to a concealed mobile phone which he allegedly used to arrange further criminal contracts, raising serious concerns about prison security and management.

Now, with Galiyev back in Sweden, he could finally face trial for his alleged involvement in high-profile murders and bomb attacks that have garnered public attention. This case is critical not only for the legal ramifications involved but also for the broader implications it may have on organized crime and the handling of extraditions in Europe.
