A 19-year-old Norwegian has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the United Kingdom for agreeing to kill a stranger. He was allegedly promised €25,000 for the assignment. He struck the deal with Foxtrot, a network that recruits young people through social media. The gang is linked to dozens of murders in Europe and has ties to Iran.
