Teen Found Guilty of UK Hit Contract Plot

Title: CCTV captures alleged assassin; Teenage Norwegian assassin's twisted plot

Introduction:

Johannes Natland A teenage hitman who flew into the UK from Norway to murder a stranger on behalf of one of Europe's most dangerous crime organisations is facing a life sentence. Johannes Natland, 19, was recruited by the Sweden based Foxtrot Network, which has been involved in at least 30 murders. He had no idea who he was to kill or why - but agreed to carry out the hit for ??21,600 to look 'cool' in front of his girlfriend. His 17-year-old contact is serving 14 years in jail in Norway after he was convicted of involvement in two gangland murders in Sweden, trafficking young hitmen and plotting Natland's hit. The Foxtrot Network has links to the Iran regime and often uses children to carry out offences because they can expect light sentences under Scandanavia's notoriously lenient justice system. Natland was bored in his home town of Stavanger and told his girlfriend: 'I???m going on a crazy mission.' Central News
