A TikToker who previously reported on gang crime in Sweden has been handed a life sentence. As reported by Dexerto, this follows a gang attack he was a part of that ended with a grenade being thrown into a home.
He was named as 30-year-old Joseph Said. He ran a TikTok account named Foxy Spy, which reported on Swedish gang crime. However, it turns out that he might have had a little too much of an inside scoop.
That's because he was a part of a gang that organized drug deals. Local outlets reported that Said was the one who organized the attack itself, following a deal gone bad.
The prosecutor behind the case, David Insulander, said that "our view is that it all happened because of a drug deal that went wrong."
Said organized the attack following the bad deal, having members of the gang use a grenade in retaliation. But things went even worse—they attacked the wrong home.
Two women were seriously injured when the grenade blasted in their home as they were asleep. They were the neighbors of the intended targets.
Local outlets reported that one victim had to have both her legs amputated, while the other suffered "very serious injuries."

Authorities Say This Wasn't His First Grenade Attack
But in a shocking turn of events, authorities have said this isn't his first grenade attack. They say he was arrested back in December on suspicion of two attacks.
He is said to have organized the other attack in an area of Sweden known as Satra. But when the former one went wrong, he was absolutely baffled. He was reported as messaging "You took the wrong house. How the hell can this happen?" to the attackers after they messed up.
And he ended up receiving a life sentence for his part in the attacks. But he wasn't the only person sentenced—they managed to unravel the whole group.
Alongside Said, 34-year-old Philip Persson received 13 years and 10 months; 30-year-old Jelal Issa received 11 years and 10 months in jail.
We're glad no one died because of these horrifying attacks. Our thoughts are with the victims, in any case.
