UPDATE

Police are searching for a “dark-skinned” driver.

In a state of shock, the guests of the restaurant were standing on the sidewalk. A crying, completely dissolved woman is being comforted. A man tries to calm her down, repeating over and over: “Nothing happened, nothing happened.”

A wild chase across the Coesfeld pedestrian zone almost ended in disaster on Friday evening. Fleeing from the police, a car raced into the outside tables of a restaurant. It passed the visitors by a hair’s breadth! It was like scenes from an action movie.

Today around 7 pm a police car squad wanted to check a dark small car with Warendorf license plates. “The car fled from the control at excessive speed through the pedestrian zone,” said a police spokesman.

An eyewitness video shows the unbelievable moments. At first only the siren of the police car chasing the black Fiat Punto through the narrow streets of the city can be heard. Suddenly, the small car with squealing tires turns the corner and races full speed through the external catering facilities, where many guests are just about to enjoy a cosy evening.

A loud bang as the car hits a flower pot and tables. Two people are slightly injured by flying parts.

The kamikaze driver continues to race on unmoved. Later he rams two parked cars, “in one case a child could only rescue itself by jumping to the side,” according to the police.The men in the patrol car stopped the pursuit at the restaurant and took care of the outraged people. Many were in a state of shock.

At the same time, a large-scale manhunt is being conducted, and a police helicopter is also being deployed. Initially without success.

“A homicide squad was set-up in the evening”, senior public prosecutor Dirk Ollech told tabloid BILD.

On the basis of witness statements, a 29-year-old man from Coesfeld could be identified as the driver, the public prosecutor’s office reported on Saturday afternoon. Ollech: “He was summoned to the presidium by phone by us and according to initial statements he denies having driven the vehicle.” So far, the man has not been present at the police station. “We’re still searching for him.”

The damaged car was investigated and seized on Saturday morning. It is not registered, the license plates were reported stolen. According to the public prosecutor’s office in Münster, the police also have the eyewitness video. The investigation is still ongoing.

The Cologne critic of Islam and member of the Central Council of Ex-Muslims, Ali Utlu, was horrified to discover that Turkish right-wing extremists are working in the ALDI branch of his hometown. He posts the following on his Facebook account:

We live in times when the supermarket chain EDEKA has to pay a fine because it did not hire someone who happened to wear a headscarf.

In return, the supermarket chain Aldi employs Turkish right-wing radicals such as the Grey Wolves in its branch in my home town, who do not even bother to hide it. These are the ones who want to assassinate me.Brave new world. Too bad that ALDI hides this post on his Facebook page.

Unknown persons have damaged a large number of graves and other objects at the Krefeld main cemetery. The police are asking for clues.

In the period from yesterday Friday ( July 17, 2020) to today’s Saturday ( July 18, 2020) several graves and urn graves were damaged at the main cemetery on the street Heideckstraße.

Around 8 am visitors had called the police. The police officers were shown a picture of devastation: the previously unknown perpetrators damaged a total of 56 graves, 25 of which were urn graves and 18 were individual graves. They took away grave goods and flower bowls, or dug them up in part and tore out the plants. Then they distributed a large number of the objects along the paths of the cemetery.

The amount of the damage cannot yet be determined. Especially the ideal value will be very high.

The police have started investigations, among other things because of disturbance of the peace of the dead, and have called in the police state security. The background of the crime is still unknown. So far, no indications of political motivation have been found.

The police are asking for information from witnesses. Similarly, relatives who are not yet known are asked to contact the police by calling 02151/6340 or hinweise.krefeld@polizei.nrw.de

German regional authorities have started to contact German citizens of Turkish origin and ask them whether they acquired a second citizenship after 2000, daily Hürriyet said on July 16. Germany’s post-2000 law made it possible for the country to withdraw German citizenship from those who had taken up another citizenship following their naturalization in Germany.

North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous German federal state, has started to send letters to German citizens of Turkish origin asking them if they acquired Turkish citizenship after 2000, daily Hürriyet reported on July 16.

This is because Germany passed a law in 2000 which forbids people who naturalized in Germany from acquiring a second citizenship. If they do so, they immediately lose their German one.

North Rhine-Westphalia authorities told the recipients that it is compulsory for them to answer the letters.

Some 2.5 million people with a Turkish background currently live in Germany, making them the largest migrant group in the country. Many of them have pushed for the right to keep both Turkish and German passports.

Four illegal immigrants were responsible for the savage assault and death of a French bus driver in Bayonne, in the south of France. Philippe Monguillot, 58 years old and father of three, had his head kicked in and deformed for simply having pointed out to the African migrants that they were violating the law.

The HLM office of the Basque Country Urban Community, Habitat Sud Atlantique, had launched a procedure in early December for one of the illegals to leave the premises in which he had been squatting.

Lausséni Sangaré, the managing director told news outlet France Bleu that “we have also learned that this individual was in an irregular situation on French territory”. He was described as a regular drug user and “aggressive”.

On LCI, Philippe Monguillot’s wife said she was concerned about the fact that this horrendous killing took place in her “small town in the Basque country” which has always been “jovial, friendly, touristy”. She added: “If things like that happen in Bayonne it can happen anywhere.”

Véronique Monguillot also wanted to thank all the people who have shown their support with the white march organised as a tribute to her husband. “I would never have enough time in my life to thank them, it’s millions of thanks that I owe them”, she confided. The white march was dignified, quiet and took place without rioting, remarked pundit Damied Rieu.

More than forty-eight hours after the tragedy, Véronique Monguillot’s sadness gave way to anger. She told regional daily la Provence: “Today I cry a lot less. I have an anger and a hatred in me […] It is really necessary that justice realizes the seriousness which is extreme and that it punishes this inhuman act to the maximum.”

About 6 000 people dressed in white took part in a march on July 8, in a march led the victim’s wife and three daughters.

The two main suspects, two Africans aged 22 and 23, were charged with attempted murder and were imprisoned. These two suspects were already known to the police. French weekly Le Point reported. Two other illegal individuals were also indicted. They are Mohammed A, Mohammed C, Moussa C and Sélim Z.

A bloody crime raises many questions: On Wednesday morning (July 15), police in Siegburg caught two apparently drunk men (both 28 years old) – one of them was injured in the upper body area. A short time later a corpse was spotted…

On Thursday the judge issued an arrest warrant for the two refugees from North Africa – for joint murder.The clues about the suspects, who were on their way to the street Aulgasse on Wednesday, had been given by a passer-by. He called 911 at about 6.40am. However, the emergency services only found the injured man on the spot, his companion had walked away. The man was immediately taken to hospital.The 28-year-old was accommodated in the central accommodation facility in Sankt Augustin. When the police investigated the surrounding area, they also came on the trace of his missing companion.

“Afterwards, police investigators finally went to the home address of a man in Lohmar who, according to witnesses, is said to have had contact with the injured man,” said a police spokesman.

The police finally found the 45-year-old man dead in his apartment – an alarmed emergency doctor was only able to determine the man’s death on the spot.

The victim, who lived in a complex of houses accommodating both refugees and homeless people, was also a North African. He is said to have been stabbed to death.

Due to the circumstances a homicide squad under the direction of Michael Brück in close cooperation with senior public prosecutor Claudia Heitmann started investigations on the spot.

Finally, the injured man from the refugee shelter was provisionally arrested. His companion was also arrested. Now both are in custody.

The motive is still unclear. Both suspects and victims are or were known to the police for drug offences. It’s possible that a dispute between them escalated

More than half of the prisoners in Hamburg prisons do not have a German passport. Notably, Hamburg – a city-state – has its own police force since law enforcement is the responsibility of German states.

An inquiry from the AfD parliamentary group in Hamburg revealed that the proportion of foreigners was 56 percent even though only 17 percent are non-German citizens in the Hanseatic city. The number of detainees with a German passport from a migration background was not clear from the information provided by the Senate.

Among the 975 prisoners living abroad, Turks are the most, with 123 people while 383 of the prisoners already have a criminal record. Foreign offenders costs Hamburg taxpayers almost 67 million euros annually.

AfD chairman Dirk Nockemann demanded that the foreign criminals be deported as quickly as possible. They “have no business in our country,” he emphasized. According to the Senate, 403 of the foreign prisoners are to be deported only after serving their sentence.

The AfD called for recording immigrant prisoners last October. “At a time when it is easier than ever to get a German passport, the distinction based on nationality is no longer sufficient,” said Andreas Mrosek, a member of the AfD Bundestag.

Compared to 2008, the proportion of foreign prisoners has increased to around eleven percent within a decade.

A Hezbollah-controlled community center in the northern German city of Bremen funnels money to the Lebanese-based terrorist movement Hezbollah, The Jerusalem Post can report on Friday.Bremen’s domestic intelligence service wrote in its Thursday released report that the Al-Mustafa community center “is involved in the financial support” of the Shi’ite terrorist organization Hezbollah. Al-Mustafa organized a talk with a radical Germany-based Islamist who agitates against Israel’s existence, said the report.

The Bremen intelligence report documents security and terrorism threats to the city-state of Bremen and covers the year 2019.According to the intelligence  authors of the report, “the approximately 50 followers of Hezbollah in Bremen are organized in the association Al-Mustafa Community. This Arab Shiite cultural association acts as a contact point for Shi’ite Muslims in Bremen, especially from Lebanon.”

The document did not state the amount of funds that Hezbollah members and supporters in Bremen sent to Hezbollah in Lebanon.There are 50 Hezbollah supporters in Bremen, according to the report, and an estimated 1,050 Hezbollah members and supporters across Germany.The report suggested that the Al-Mustafa center sent funds to family members of dead Hezbollah terrorists. The report noted that Al-Mustafa filled the vacuum after the German government banned the pro-Hezbollah organization Waisenkinderprojekts Libanon e.V. (Lebanon Orphan Children Project) in 2014.The Orphan Project sent money to the families of  deceased  Hezbollah fighters involved in murdering Israelis. Former German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said at the time about the  Orphan Project:  “Organizations which directly or indirectly work against Israel’s right to exist from German soil cannot rely on the guaranteed right to freely organize.”

It is unclear if Bremen or the German government will shut down the Al-Mustafa center for terror finance. After the German interior ministry outlawed all Hezbollah activities in April, 2020, the authorities raided the Al-Mustafa center.The Post previously uncovered the Shi’ite organization’s bank account – the Bremen-based Sparkasse.“It is also known that at events within the association premises that regular mullahs from Lebanon appear with speeches and prayers. The mullahs have some references to Hezbollah, “ wrote the intelligence officials in the report about the events at the Al-Mustafa center.The report said that the Al-Mustafa center organized cooperation events with other Shi’ite Islamist associations from northern Germany and provided room space to these radical Islamic groups.The 112-page intelligence report cites Hezbollah 23 times.According to the intelligence document, a “nationwide known Islamist from the Bremen area together with other members of his family” who participated in a religious festival at the Al-Mustafa center, and the Islamist’s “goal is to spread the ideology of the Iranian Mullah regime and to stoke hatred against Israel and the West. This was also evident in the speeches, which largely consist of depictions of classic enemy images against Israel – in that speeches only referred to as ‘the Zionist regime.”
