The Home Care Service in Sweden hired a Syrian gangster to take care of the elderly.

It ended with him recording himself abusing and torturing them while shouting “Allahu Akbar”

samhallsnytt reports that 22-year-old Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh from Syrianis being prosecuted for abusing, assaulting and mistreating 15 elderly people.

The man, who arrived in Sweden as a refugee in 2015, was a member of a criminal gang and had previously been sentenced for robbing and tormenting several Swedish youths while armed with a gun.

The investigation into the home care abuses has in total involved 15 complainants, with the oldest being a 99-year-old woman.

In one video, his victim is a 92-year-old Swedish woman.

“You look like a monkey!” he says to the woman while pointing at her.

Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh then swings his open hand toward the woman’s face without hitting her. Instead, he grabs her nose and yanks it while making a honking sound.

He continues to insult the elderly woman in Arabic:

“You whore! I swear I’m going to curse you! he says,” and adds:

“Eat sh&t you whore!”

In other video clips, an 81-year-old man is subjected to abuse and torture. First, the Syrian home care worker repeatedly calls his victim “son of a whore.”

Then the 81-year-old is tormented in the shower as the 22-year-old Syrian pours ice-cold water on him.

“I swear by Allah that I will make you freeze,” Al Khleef Almasalmeh is heard screaming in Arabic.

The mobile phone videos were found on a mobile phone in connection with another criminal investigation.

At the end of November last year, while the police investigation against Al Khleef Almasalmeh was ongoing, he was suspended from work with full pay.

But the day after the New Year holiday, on January 2nd this year, he was allowed to return to his job in home care.

“Since we don’t know more about the investigation, we cannot suspend him for more than one month, says the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac in a police interview.

The 22-year-old Syrian therefore remained at his workplace until he was arrested by the police on the morning of January 19th.

Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh came to Sweden from Syria together with his parents and 5 siblings during the 2015 European Migration crisis 2015.

He was made a Swedish citizen 3 years later and therefore can’t be deported for his crimes now.

Despite Al Khleef Almasalmeh having been sentenced for 2 cases of assault and 5 cases of unlawful threats from his past as a gangster, he was hired in March last year by the home care service in Örebro.

The person who hired Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh was the home care unit manager Maid Prnjavorac.

Prnjavorac does not want to answer samhallsnytt’s questions when they call him.

Instead, he refers to his boss Sahra Strandberg, who serves as the acting operations manager.

In case anyone wonders how it is growing old in Sweden after paying 40% of your salary in tax for decades, this case explain a lot.

So, I decided to look into other surveys to see if the result held up
