Fucked For Life
Fucked For Life (FFL) is a criminal network in Sweden, probably founded by Daniel Maiorana (born c. 1977).[1] At the core of the network are 12 men, some of whom have "FFL" tattooed on their arms or neck.
History
[edit ]The gang was initially named "Tumba Lords" after Tumba, a southern suburb of Stockholm, but later changed its name "Fucked For Life" at the end of the 1990s. The gang originally consisted of 5 members, but police estimates said the number had increased to approximately 40 members in 2004. FFL had begun with the theft of mopeds and motocross-cycles, but in recent years they have been occupied with robbing ATMs and armoured transports.
Maiorana was released from Hall Prison on 14 February 2002, where he had served a 4+1⁄2-year sentence for robbery and assault. After his release, a crime wave associated with FFL began in Stockholm, until he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison.[2] He escaped from custody on 18 January 2004 but was arrested again. He escaped yet again on 28 July 2004, together with Tony Olsson, a convict serving a life sentence for the Malexander murders. Both men were again arrested shortly after their escape.[3]
