The bloody fighting between a large German-Arab family and Chechen men in Berlin has the potential to provoke massive excesses of violence, according to internal assessments by police officers. Investigators from the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) refer in internal letters to the riots in Dijon, France, and warn of firearms available in the middle.
In Dijon, eastern France, in July this year, 200 Chechen paramilitaries from all over Europe and residents of the Grésilles suburb, mainly with North African roots, fought violent street battles. The trigger was an attack by local merchants on a young Chechen. The police took days to defuse the situation.
The Berlin investigators for “Organized Crime” (OK) also cite a case of Rheinsberg in Brandenburg as a warning example. In July there was a massive fight between Chechens, on the one hand, and Poles and Germans, on the other. A large police force prevented further escalations by 100 Chechens who had traveled and the Turkish fascists who were at their side.
Berlin could be saved from such a thing. Members of the affected branch of the Remmo clan and Chechen representatives are said to have agreed to “peace” on Wednesday night. The corresponding photo can be seen in a public Internet post by Syrian-Lebanese professional boxer Manuel Charr; seven men around a table.
A boxer and friend of Kadyrov acts as a mediator
Boxer Charr competed in a fight in Grozny in 2015 at the invitation of Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov.
There have been long wars in the region between pro-Russian forces and Islamic separatists. The insiders confirmed to the Tagesspiegel that Charr, who is highly respected in the German-Arab clan, had been called in as a mediator. “It was not vigilante justice,” the boxer wrote on Instagram on Wednesday. Everything was allegedly done in “consultation with the police.”
A police spokesman told the Tagesspiegel that “the Berlin police have not reached any agreement with Mr Charr. Furthermore, it is also not known whether Mr. Charr actually appears or has appeared in the position that he claims to be between the parties to the conflict. “

LKA investigators see a different sign in this: the state is keeping its distance despite serious crimes and, given the influence of both groups, a powerful parallel justice system is being established.
Berlin police warn of “extreme use of force”
Investigators internally warn against European mobilization in the Chechen community “to support Chechens in Berlin.” The corresponding statements at crime scenes are cause for concern that the attacks may continue.

Chechen criminals known to the authorities have often fought in post-Soviet disintegration wars or in the Middle East. The Berlin police situation report warns against “extreme use of force” and agrees with Islamist circles. Police officers were ordered to pay attention to “self-protection” during on-site checks. A spokesman said there was a “strengthening of the presence in public spaces and at well-known stage gatherings”, openly and covertly.
Chechens injured in four Berlin hospitals
As reported, eleven men were injured in raids in the Neukölln and Gesundbrunnen districts over the weekend. Six Russian citizens were temporarily detained. According to internal information from the LKA, the attackers are said to be carrying firearms. Investigators suspect that “defamation” is the cause of the clashes, although arguments about drug trafficking are not excluded.
The injured Chechens were treated at four hospitals. In the clinics, it was said internally, opponents could appear. On Wednesday night, civilian investigators apparently observed at least one Berlin hospital for this reason. The Tagesspiegel learned this from clinical circles. The names of the treaties have been anonymized for the time being.
