Let KG be the group ring of the group G over the infinite field K, and let U(KG) be its group of units. If G is torsion, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite subgroup H of G to be either normal or subnormal in U(KG). Actually, if H is subnormal in U(KG), we can handle not only the case H finite, but the precise assumptions depend on the characteristic of K.
