Gang members in Sweden have been arrested for allegedly enlisting the help of children to commit crimes, paying them thousands of dollars to murder people on behalf of the gang due to Swedish law protecting children against prosecution.

Four men between the ages of 18 and 20 were arrested for allegedly recruiting four minors between the ages of 11 and 17 to carry out contracted murders. At least one of the minors was offered money for the deed, in addition to getaway supplies such as a change of clothes and transportation to and from the crime scene, reported France 24.
