Three days after shooting a 29-year-old man in Berlin-Kreuzberg, violent clashes between members of large families of Arab origin appear to have continued. This led to a major police operation on Monday night.
Photos and videos of the night program blocked roads, blue lights and numerous hooded police officers, some with helmets and submachine guns. This time, however, there were no injuries, as a police spokeswoman said.
About 10 men are said to have appeared in front of a house in Gneisenaustraße on Monday night around 9:50 pm and broke the windows of a ground floor apartment. According to the police, witnesses also reported a car that was deliberately damaged. The perpetrators are said to have fled to the Südstern by car.
Alerted police officers searched four suspected men aged 22, 23, 24 and 49, as well as numerous motorists on Mittenwalder Strasse. They confiscated several baseball bats and a car and interviewed witnesses. A video also shows how police officers secure the entrance of a house with machine guns.
At around 10:30 pm, the 71-year-old grandfather of the 29-year-old who was shot on Friday alerted the police because he was said to have been threatened over the phone and through the closed door. The criminal police investigate property damage and threats. Officials say they are investigating a possible connection to the crime Friday night and the alleged involvement of criminal members of Arab clans.
Several men shot the 29-year-old in front of a shop in Kreuzberg. The man was operated on and transferred to the intensive care unit. Since then, the police have verified whether a dispute between members of the clan was the background to the crime. The perpetrators have not yet been caught.
Organized and clan crime has long been a problem in Berlin and other federal states. In recent weeks, violent clashes between members of an Arab clan and Chechen criminals have made headlines. Furthermore, a year after the jewelery theft from the Dresden treasury, members of the Grünes Gewölbe clan were arrested as alleged perpetrators.
The Police Union (GdP) announced that there is currently an intensified struggle for influence in the middle, as is often the case with baseball bats and firearms on the street: »Berlin is the epicenter of compound criminal groups by numerous Arab families who support the rule of law and reject all the rules that apply in our country.
