Original Gangsters (gang)
Original Gangsters (OGs) is an Assyrian/Syriac criminal gang in Sweden. Founded in 1993, it has its base in Gothenburg and members in Halmstad and Jönköping, among other places, and is one of a handful of Swedish criminal gangs that have received significant media attention. Its leader and founder is Denho Acar, who fled Sweden in 2007. The current number of members is uncertain: Original Gangsters' own figures of some one hundred active were disputed by the Swedish police, which describe the gang as currently being significantly decimated.
The gang took its name from the term Original Gangster used by gangsta rapper Ice-T in 1991.
