The Dark Art of Violence as a Service A UK court delivered a guilty verdict last week to Johannes Natland, a 19 year old Norwegian, shedding light on the sinister world of "violence as a service" (VaaS).
This phenomenon involves teenage killers being hired out by organized crime groups. The trial revealed how Natland was recruited by the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish based gang, to carry out a hit in the UK.
The Foxtrot Network's modus operandi is well documented: they use social media platforms and encrypted messaging apps to recruit young killers from troubled backgrounds.
