Several years in prison for widow of Swedish Al-Qaida leader

When Swedish-Moroccan Mohamed Moumou died in Mosul in 2008, he was the second (highest) man within Al-Qaida in Iraq. Now his Swedish widow, Camilla Olofsson, has been convicted for aiding and abetting aggravated rape against children and human trafficking of her own child. The crime was committed in Syria during the rule of the Islamic State.

Mohamed Moumou was trained in an Al-Qaida camp in Afghanistan and left Sweden when he was listed as a terrorist by the UN in 2006. He died in a drone attack in Mosul in 2008. By that time, he had climbed to the position of the number 2 man within Al-Qaida in Iraq.

According to security police, his widow, Camilla Olofsson, and other members of the family have been within the radical Islamist environment even after the death of Mohamed Moumou. For example, two of the sons have fought in Syria, one of whom has died.

Doku has previously reported on (Child Protection Act) interventions against two of the daughters, in one of the cases, one of the daughters was going to take a niece abroad, but she was arrested by police at Kastrup (Copenhagen Airport).

During the spring of 2022, Expressen reported that Camilla Olofsson and a man were charged by the Stockholm court suspected of, among others, aggravated rape of children. The October 11 charge was for Camilla Olafsson's part in human trafficking on two occasions, aiding and abetting aggravated child rape on several occasions, and forced marriage. The man, who according to an arrangement with Camila Olafsson, was allowed to marry one of her daughters, was charged with aggravated rape of a child.

The prosecutor's oral evidence was very extensive and included, among other things, interviews with several people within the jihadist environment who were in the Islamic State and who had contact with Camilla Olofsson and the family when the crimes were reportedly committed.

The Solna district court has now announced its judgment. Camilla Oloffson is sentenced to 6 years and 10 months in prison for human trafficking and aiding and abetting aggravated rape against one of her daughters. The forced marriage is included in the human trafficking charge for which she is convicted, according to the district court.

The man was also convicted, in his case for aggravated rape against a child. The punishment was 8 years and 10 months in prison.

The judgment shows that it was obvious to Camilla Olofsson that she was taking her children to a conflict zone and to the terrorist organization Islamic State. Her purpose in taking her daughters and housing them there, according to the court, was to help establish and to live in an Islamic state set up under a strict Salafist interpretation of Islam and controlled by a violent Islamist formation. Her purpose was that the children would be subjected to the order and the norms that applied within the terrorist organization. For the underage daughters, who were only 9 and 12 years of age respectively when they were taken there for the first time, that meant that they would marry, start a family, and be exploited for sexual purposes and other activity.
