“ARAB CLANS” IN GERMAN MEDIA Media coverage of “clan crime” in Germany has influenced public opinion at all levels of government in recent years. An increasing number of media outlets, from local dailies to national weeklies, report on “clan crime”, often with recycled stories and sensationalist headlines.
I think the word mafia is used much too loosely. More importantly, this shows how ignorant Germany is at border policy. Almost as bad as we are.
After the Second World War , the Dutch and West German working population was too small to keep up with the country's rapid economic growth, so they brought all those people here. I don't have a problem with hard working people, but you do need borders. The EU has become a mess on immigration.

Berlin seeks mafia-busting powers to tackle crime clans Minister wants to seize 'status symbols' from gangs, many of which have roots in Arab world
Berlin is seeking Italian-style anti-mafia powers to seize property from organised criminals as it plans a crackdown on the city's gangs, many of which have links to Lebanon.
The German capital's interior minister Iris Spranger says confiscating money, luxury cars and other “status symbols” is more effective than prison.
Mafia structures in Hamburg This drug gang is more dangerous than the Hells Angels Anna Hoffmann From Anna Hoffmann Updated on September 9, 2023 - 11:59 am Reading time: 3 minutes News
A brutal drug gang from Hamburg is causing the police great concern. With her mafia methods, she has long since overshadowed the Hells Angels.
Shootings on the street, the importation of gigantic quantities of cocaine and mafia-like structures: a criminal organization from the Hamburg district of Altona is gaining more and more influence and power in the Hanseatic city and is presenting the police with major challenges .
We're talking about the group "HausDrei", named after the cultural center of the same name in Hamburg-Altona. Some members probably met there, but the center has nothing to do with the drug business.
There are already 150 to 200 people in the association - and the number is rising rapidly. How many criminal cases can be attributed to her is not statistically recorded, says Jan Reinecke, Hamburg state chairman of the Association of German Criminal Police Officers (BDK) to t-online. "We just know that the drug group 'HausDrei' is a particularly serious OC group."
“HausDrei” recruits its offspring through German rap. "The music videos show a lifestyle that many young, often socially disconnected people find incredibly attractive. By depicting wealth, weapons, expensive cars, sex and other status symbols, the group promotes life as a drug gangster. Because it is in... There is really a lot of money to be made in the milieu, there are always enough people who want to take part."
One example is the music video for the song “Ndrangheta” by rappers Shafo and Gzuz (187 Street Gang). Violent scenes alternate with shots of men dressed in black. Reinecke knows: "Many of the people posing in a semicircle in front of 'Haus Drei' are 'career criminals' known to the police and not extras."
For the Hamburg police, the drug gang has "long since eclipsed" the Hells Angels , said Reinecke. The rocker group has now “drifted into business life” and is running their companies as “established” business people. For this reason, the department responsible for rockers in the State Criminal Police Office was dissolved. "But that doesn't mean that the Hells Angels and other criminal rocker groups no longer exist in Hamburg. However, they only come onto the scene when someone spoils their business."
At “HausDrei” you can literally watch how organized crime structures emerge. "The original group gets to know each other in a cultural center and organizes themselves. Hierarchies arise, those who commit crimes rise in the rankings. These people see prison as a further education and training institution, they are not interested in resocialization and the good and The right approach to resocialization is completely ineffective for these people."
“HausDrei” does not shy away from gun violence The trade unionist also says: The police have far too few officers in the area of ??organized crime to combat it. "The political focus is on visible crime, i.e. dealing drugs on the street. Voters reject this noticeable social 'disorder' and politicians know it. So politicians are pumping an incredible amount of staff into suppressing visible street crime. " There would then only be an insufficient number of investigators left to combat organized structures.
However, this does not address the cause. "The investigators who are supposed to look after criminal organizations like 'Haus Drei' in their original responsibility are now only a handful of people," says Reinecke. "20 to 30 LKA employees are faced with 150 to 200 professional criminals from 'HausDrei' and all other organized crime groups that also operate in Hamburg. A competition that the police cannot decide for themselves and the city."
That is dangerous because the gang does not shy away from armed violence. “What we see in the violent videos is also being implemented,” says Reinecke. "They have weapons and they use them. We see that in the recent clashes in Hamburg, which were carried out with firearms." It is also no longer an exception for his colleagues to seize “sharp firearms and even weapons of war” during a house search. “The fact that nothing has happened yet is more down to luck.”
Interesting that the HA in Hamburg are low key I know they have good connections in the big port and bring in tons of cocaine.

I think that's just some more pompous horseshit from the Western media. About three years ago a single Hamburg Hells Angels member was arrested for importing 1,1 tonnes of cocaine.
This Altona gang are just local drug dealers and they're probably getting supplied by the bikers, the Kurds or the Albanians that are active in Hamburg. The reason the Hamburg police focuses on this new drug gang more is because they're more of a public nuisance.

Those involved dock workers receive at least 10,000 euros for their assistance per transport. The risks are high: if you get caught, you lose your job and face a prison sentence.
Germany: Bushido trial ends with fine for Berlin clan boss 02/05/2024 February 5, 2024 The Berlin rapper Bushido had accused his ex-manager Arafat Abou-Chaker of extortion and assault. But a regional court dropped the heaviest charges against the crime boss.
'Kurdish-Lebanese clans increasingly powerful in German underworld' August 6, 2024
Criminal Kurdish-Lebanese clans are increasingly fighting their differences in public life in Germany and are spreading fear among the population. In Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Lower Saxony, Arab criminal clans are fighting bloody feuds for money, power and honour.
FOCUS Online writes that in May a massive brawl took place on the sidelines of the football match in Essen between Al-Arz Lebanon and RuWa Dellwig. About 60 men chased each other with knives and machetes among other visitors. A shot was also fired. A large police force managed to prevent worse.
Saado clan In the background, a financial dispute is said to be taking place between two rival family branches of the Kurdish-Lebanese Saado clan. A little over a week later, there is a serious brawl between 40 men in Essen-Altendorf. This time, it was about the allegedly tarnished honor of a young woman. The men attacked each other with furniture, knives and machetes.
Bloody feuds The two battles are anything but isolated incidents. Bloody feuds over money, power and honour are almost daily occurrences among the various clans in North Rhine-Westphalia. In Berlin, Bremen and Lower Saxony, such family clans have long been regular customers of German prosecutors. Undercover agents have no chance of infiltrating the closed family structures. And in the event of arrests, the omerta (duty of silence) applies.
FOCUS Online writes that criminal families play a major role in the German underworld and are constantly expanding their influence. The arm of the big clans now reaches into Scandinavia, France, Turkey and the Benelux.
Berlin underworld In the clan hotspot Berlin, things are sometimes even more brutal than in North Rhine-Westphalia. A report from the Berlin State Criminal Police (LKA) from August 2023 on the crimes of large Arab families states that the influence of Arab gangsters in the Berlin underworld is increasing. According to the study, one in five cases of organized crime takes place in the clan environment.
The family clans in Berlin are involved in shootings, murders, armed robberies of cash-in-transit vehicles, spectacular burglaries, knife attacks, drug trafficking, prostitution, fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, illegal gambling and welfare fraud.
Legal facade According to the Berlin police, family syndicates have contacts in the biker, bouncer, rap and martial arts circles. The family syndicates have long tried to give their illegal businesses a legal front by operating shisha bars, jewelry stores, construction companies and car rental companies. Criminal profits are sometimes laundered in Lebanon or Turkey.
German nationality Many criminal clan members have German passports. The LKA holds three clan members with German nationality responsible for the burglary of a safe on Fasanenstraße in Charlottenburg in November 2022. The perpetrators stole almost 50 million euros.
Many criminal members of the notorious Remmo clan have German passports. Among them were the men who stole 113 million euros worth of jewelry from the Green Vault in Dresden.
Omeirat clan At the top of the 116 large families in the national crime rankings, the Omeirat clan still stands. Almost every tenth crime is committed by the criminal offshoots of the large clan. Politicians are currently discussing controversial measures against the influence of Kurdish-Lebanese family clans.
Miri clan The Miri network is one of the most important players in the local clan world. In their main area of ??influence Bremen and Lower Saxony alone, the researchers count around 30 families with a total of 2600 members, nationwide there would be 8000 members.
Miri's offshoots have long since expanded their operations beyond Bremen to Bochum, Herne, Dortmund and Essen, as well as to eastern German regions such as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. However, it is not clear how many family members are actually criminals.
Dortmund drug lord On Saturday, Dortmund drug lord Esmat E., alias “Sammy Miri” (38) was extradited from Turkey to Germany after being on the run for three years . In 2021, an arrest warrant was issued for Miri for cocaine trafficking. He then fled to Spain and then to Turkey. In March of this year, Miri was arrested by the Turkish authorities and now faces up to 15 years in prison in Germany.
EncroChat According to German authorities, Sammy Miri and his accomplices are said to have operated a cocaine network that was dismantled in 2020 by intercepting chat messages from the hacked messaging service EncroChat.

You are right, they call any gang a Mafia gang, or Mafia type gang. It's been done a long time. I look at an other of the European crime stories like this, and the common denominator is Arab groups.
