3 men convicted for violations of gun laws in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on supporters from Sweden

Three men have been convicted for firearm law violations following the terrorist attack in Brussels that killed two Swedish football supporters. The attack occurred on October 16, 2023, when Kent Persson and Patrick Lundström were shot at while in a taxi. The assailant, Abdesalem Lassoued, was later killed by police. The convicted men were involved in attempts to supply weapons for the attack. One received a three-year prison sentence, another two years suspended, and the third was given a community service order for possessing firearms. The latter played a key role in locating Lassoued after the attack, providing valuable information to the police.
