British police have released footage of the arrest of Johannes Kongsnes Natland, a 19-year-old Norwegian accused of flying to the UK to carry out a paid killing for the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish organized-crime gang prosecutors describe as “used by the Iranian regime.”  

The bodycam video shows armed officers raiding his hotel room in Huddersfield. Natland, wearing only boxer shorts, walks out with his hands up, then mimes shooting at police before being pinned and handcuffed. Police found £2,000 in cash, a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver and 12 live rounds in the room.  

Prosecutors say Natland flew in from Stavanger, was directed to hidden cash, then to a dead-drop near a tree where guns and ammunition were waiting. Court messages allegedly referred to an “assassin,” a recruiter called “Generalen,” and a handler using the name “Agent 47,” with €25,000 said to be “in the pot.” The intended target has not been publicly identified.  

Natland has pleaded guilty to possessing the firearms and ammunition but denies conspiracy to murder. The wider picture is bigger than one teenager: Britain and the U.S. have sanctioned Foxtrot and its leader, Rawa Majid, over Iranian-backed violence against Jewish and Israeli targets in Europe.
