约翰内斯·孔格斯内斯·纳特兰德，一名19岁的有志成为足球运动员的青年，被国际毒品辛迪加“狐狸”承诺支付25,000欧元（约合21,500英镑），以在英格兰杀害一名目标。
Johannes Kongsnes Natland a 19-year-old aspiring footballer, was promised €25,000 (£21,500) by the international drugs syndicate Foxtrot to kill a target in England.
去年3月19日，反恐警察在西约克郡哈德斯菲尔德的一家三星级酒店将纳特兰德逮捕，就在他实施任务之前。
Counter-terror police arrested Natland at a three-star hotel in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, on March 19 last year before he could carry out his assignment.
警方在他房间内发现了一对手枪、18发子弹、2000英镑现金以及三副工人手套。
Officers found a pair of guns 18 rounds of ammunition, £2,000 in cash and three pairs of workman’s gloves in his room.
在奥尔德贝利经历两次审判后，他于7月29日被判定犯有谋杀阴谋罪。周五，在伍尔维奇王室法院，纳特兰德被判处20年监禁。
After two trials at the Old Bailey, he was found guilty on July 29 of conspiracy to murder. At Woolwich Crown Court on Friday, Natland was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment.
纳特兰德在被捕时假装向一名持枪警官开火 在电视转播的宣判过程中，奇玛-格拉布法官告诉纳特兰德：“狐狸网络是一个有组织的犯罪集团，它发展出了一种通过间接手段招募年轻人实施暴力犯罪的方法。“你被招募前往英格兰杀害一名未被识别的目标。
Natland pretending to shoot an armed officer during his arrest In a televised sentencing, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told Natland: “The Foxtrot network is an organised crime group which has developed an arm’s-length method of recruiting young people to carry out violent crimes. “You were recruited to travel to England to kill an unidentified target.
“你同意充当执行者，并在尽管有无数机会可以脱身的情况下仍然坚持下去。” 法官表示，值得注意的是，此次事件中没有人员受伤，但补充说，如果纳特兰德没有被捕，他就会按照自己同意的去做。
“You agreed to be the enforcer and pursued it despite numerous opportunities to extricate yourself.”The judge said it was important to note that no one had been harmed, but added that Natland would have done what he agreed to do had he not been arrested.
在减轻处罚的陈述中，保罗·海因斯 KC 强调了纳特兰德在犯罪时的年轻年龄，并表示他在“轨道外”之前曾是一名“年轻、受欢迎、成绩优秀且擅长运动的学生”。
In mitigation, Paul Hynes KC highlighted Natland’s young age at the time of the offending, and said he had been “a young, popular, successful student and sportsman” before he went “off the rails”.
他告诉法庭，纳特兰德曾遭受心理健康问题的困扰，而他的非法药物使用使这一问题变得更糟。这影响了他“作出理性、正确决定的能力”，海恩斯先生说。
He told the court Natland had suffered from poor mental health, which was made worse by his use of illicit drugs. This had affected his “ability to make rational, good decisions”, Mr Hynes said.

He has in any view learned his lesson.”Natland, during his first three-week trial, said he had no idea who he was to kill or why – but agreed to carry out the assassination to impress his girlfriend.
他试图说服陪审团，他之所以前往英国，是因为担心如果他反对，会遭到狐狸小队网络的报复。
He attempted to convince jurors that he had travelled to the UK out of fear of reprisals from the Foxtrot network if he objected.
他问道：“‘你打算怎么做？朝自己的脚开枪吗？’我不会杀任何人，尤其是从未见过的人，”他对法庭和每天参加审判的父母说。
“I thought, ‘What are you going to do? Shoot yourself in the foot?’ I wasn’t going to kill anyone, especially not someone that I had never met,” he told the court and his parents, who attended every day of the trial.
与伊朗犯罪集团的关联 后来发现，纳特兰是被另一名使用网名“Generalen”（挪威语意为“将军”）的挪威少年杀手招募的。
Links to Iranian crime syndicate It emerged that Natland had been recruited by another Norwegian teenage hitman who used the online moniker Generalen, meaning General in Norwegian.
而Generalen wiederum 向策划这次阴谋的组织者报告，该组织者是一名瑞典人，代号为“特工47”。
Generalen in turn reported to the plot’s organiser, a Swedish national codenamed Agent 47.
“特工47”这一名称源自《杀手》视频游戏系列的主角，据信是阿里·谢哈布·艾哈迈德，即狐狸小队网络22岁的二号人物。
Agent 47, named after the protagonist in the Hitman video game franchise, is believed to be Ali Shehab Ahmed, the 22-year-old second-in-command of the Foxtrot network.
狐狸小队是瑞典最强大、最危险的犯罪集团，该集团领袖拉瓦“库尔德狐狸”马吉德在伊朗的庇护下从伊朗发布命令。
Foxtrot is Sweden’s most powerful and dangerous crime syndicate, with Rawa “Kurdish Fox” Majid, the gang’s leader, issuing his orders from Iran under Tehran’s protection.
该集团因在欧洲策划针对犹太人的袭击而受到英国和美国当局的制裁。该集团利用弱势青少年代为实施杀戮，警方将这种手段称为“暴力即服务”。
The group has been sanctioned by UK and US authorities for orchestrating attacks on Jewish people in Europe The gang uses vulnerable teenagers to carry out killings on its behalf, a method police refer to as “violence as a service”.
阿赫迈德先生于12月在伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区被捕，瑞典警方指控他利用青少年进行暗杀。反恐警察表示，他们未在暗杀阴谋与伊朗政权之间发现直接关联，但强调此次暗杀是由“狐狸”网络的一名成员组织的。
Mr Ahmed was arrested in Iraq’s Kurdistan region in December, accused by Swedish police of using teenagers for assassinations Counter-terror police said it did not find a direct link between the assassination plot and the Iranian regime, but stressed that the hit had been organised by a member of the Foxtrot network.
伦敦反恐警察局（CTP）局长海伦·弗拉纳根司令官表示：“纳特兰显然正受到‘狐狸’网络中某人的指使，这是一个有组织的犯罪团伙，因其代表伊朗政权在欧洲策划针对犹太人和以色列目标的暴力行为而受到英国和美国的制裁。
Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London (CTP), said: “Natland was clearly being tasked by someone in the Foxtrot network, an organised criminal group sanctioned by the UK and the US due to its involvement in orchestrating violence against Jewish and Israeli targets in Europe on behalf of the Iranian regime.
“此次特定暗杀的预定目标从未被确认，且我们在此案中未发现任何直接关联伊朗的证据。然而，正如近期事件所示，CTP将寻求主动破坏任何敌对国家在英国实施犯罪行为的企图。”《每日电讯报》此前曾透露，警方仅因及时阻止纳特兰而得以成功，这是因为将军恩在三天前因在挪威西南海岸的斯塔万格策划暗杀一名警察局长的儿子而被捕。
“The intended target of this specific assassination has never been identified, and we found no evidence of any direct link to Iran in this case. However, as recent events have shown, CTP will seek to proactively disrupt any attempts by hostile states to carry out criminal acts in the UK.”The Telegraph previously revealed that police only stopped Natland in time because Generalen had been arrested three days earlier for arranging a hit on the son of a police chief in Stavanger, on Norway’s south-western coast.
将军恩现年17岁，目前正在挪威服刑14年，罪名是策划了瑞典的两起黑帮处决，以及在英格兰和斯塔万格的未遂谋杀案。
Generalen, who is now 17 years old, is serving a 14-year prison sentence in Norway for arranging two gangland executions in Sweden and the attempted murders in England and Stavanger.
