    The UK government sanctioned the Foxtrot Network and Rawa Majid.

    In April 2025, the UK government imposed sanctions on the Foxtrot Network and its leader, Rawa Majid. The network is described as an organized crime group recognized for its violence-as-a-service (VaaS) tactics, which involves recruiting teenagers to carry out attacks for cash.
