Trial of Ildar “Scar” Galiyev begins in major Swedish violence case
The trial of Ildar Galiyev, known as Scar, began on 3 November 2026. SVT reports that hearings have started in the extensive case involving murders, explosions and other serious violence.
SVT reported on 3 November that Galiyev’s trial had begun. The hearings concern the major violence case in which he was charged on 21 October.
Galiyev, 26, is described by SVT as a prominent figure in the Dalen network, which is in conflict with Foxtrot. The charges have been brought together at Södertörn District Court under case B 2902-26. Other people face prosecution over different alleged roles.
Prosecutors list the September 2023 murder near the Mälarhöjdens IP sports ground and the fatal explosion in Fullerö near Uppsala. A 24-year-old woman died in the latter attack. Other allegations concern an explosion near terraced homes in Hässelby and an unsuccessful bombing attempt followed by an explosion in Linköping.
Galiyev allegedly organised or commissioned several offences and recruited others to carry them out. The official announcement also includes allegations involving kidnapping and preparations for murder. The precise charge differs between incidents; prosecutors do not allege that he personally carried out every act. Greek authorities handed him over to Sweden in February.
