Turk with loaded firearm and forged identity card on the road in Cologne, Germany

Last Friday evening, Cologne police arrested a 48-year-old Turk in the district of Höhenberg after a traffic check. The officers had found the man with a loaded firearm and a forged Luxembourg passport. According to the current state of investigation, he had opened an account with a German bank with these fake personal details. A magistrate sent the suspect, who is suspected of being in Germany illegally, to custody. Around 10.45 p.m. the officers of the riot police on Fuldaer Street stopped a 30-year-old man from Bonn with his Mercedes SL55 AMG.The 48-year-old sat in the co-driver’s seat, proved himself with a Turkish passport and admitted to carrying a pistol in a leg holster. The police disarmed the man and took him to the station. Meanwhile, specialists checked his companion’s sports car. The wheels are not approved for the car and can have a negative effect on the driving and braking behaviour of the vehicle. The officers seized the allegedly traffic-insecure Mercedes and instituted administrative offence proceedings against the 30-year-old. The policemen were originally deployed in a special mission to fight biker crime. According to current information, the 30-year-old and the 48-year-old have no connections to the biker milieu.

Police in Utrecht are searching for 37-year-old Gökmen Tanis in connection with the apparent fatal shooting at 24 Oktoberplein in the city. Police released a photo of the man, while simultaneously authorities were investigating the scene of an abandoned car with broadcast reports of a possible explosion threat. Tanis was born in Turkey, police said. He is sought in connection with the Monday morning shooting that was being investigated as a possible terrorist attack. Authorities were asking that anyone who knows Tanis’s whereabouts contact them directly. “Do not approach him yourself, but immediately call the investigation hotline, 0800-6070,” police said. Meanwhile, a red Renault Clio was found abandoned on Tichelaarslaan near Boomgaardlaan. The location is about five kilometers away from where the shooting took place on a tram in city. A woman who discovered the car told the broadcaster, “The car had been running for some time, up to three hours with the engine on, the window slightly open and a note hanging from it.” When pressed to describe the note, she added, “I read the last line, but I prefer not to say what it said.” By 2 p.m., the broadcaster said that there was a threat of explosion at the location. However, authorities had not declared such a threat on official channels as of 2:30 p.m. Back closer to the site of the shooting, armed police were actively investigating a first-floor flat on Trumanlaan. A large, heavily armed team entered a housing block there, but did not immediately reveal what they had found. The municipality of Utrecht was telling people to stay indoors and off the street as the police hunt for suspects continued.

Germany: Iraqi asylum seekers stab a local man in front of a restaurant

After a verbal argument and a subsequent scuffle, an Iraqi stabbed his victim last night in the street in front of a restaurant in the Düsseldorf district of Golzheim. The 51-year-old victim suffered several stab wounds, which were life-threatening according to first assessments of the treating emergency physician. The man from Düsseldorf is currently being treated as an inpatient. The suspect and his companion were identified and arrested in a municipal refugee accommodation. According to the current investigations of the criminal investigation department, the injured party was together with friends in a restaurant on Kaiserswerther Street when, shortly after 11 p.m., he and a friend decided to smoke a cigarette outside the door. Here the 51-year-old got into an argument with two immigrants from Iraq (25 and 23 years old) and subsequently into a physical dispute. In the course of this, the 25-year-old stabbed the man from Düsseldorf with a stabbing weapon and so severely injured his upper body that the emergency doctor in charge of the case assumed that his life was in danger.The case is now being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Department, which classifies it as an attempted homicide. The main perpetrator is brought before a magistrate.

Germany: Asylum seeker rioted at the police station, policeman was fed up — Now the latter has to face trial

With vehemence against the law enforcement officers, with lenience against criminals.
The newspaper Wochenblatt reports:

For a Bavarian police officer, the so-called refugee crisis in autumn 2015 has had quite personal consequences. After a criminal conviction for bodily harm to an Afghan refugee, the 51-year-old police chief commissioner was initially suspended from duty. Next Monday, 18th of March, the tenth chamber of the administrative court Regensburg as disciplinary chamber will have to deal with the case.The federal state of Bavaria wants to degrade the former service group leader – but the administrative judges have to agree first. The following happened in August 2015: Between January and August 2015, more than 310,000 migrants had already entered Germany illegally. Only very few of them had passports with them. The rule of law had reached its limits. In the chaos of 2015, immigration controls and the proper registration of immigrants were de facto non-existent.And yet officers of the Federal Police and the State Police had to deal with migrants time and again. Then it happened that three Afghan youths broke out of their accommodation in Landau and took the train to Landshut without a ticket. The Federal Police picked them up and took them to the Landshut police station. In the rooms of the Landshut police, they not only refused to hand in their fingerprints to establish their identity, but also rioted, fought back with their hands and feet, so that the patrol officers were supported by the service group leader and other colleagues, among others.The service group leader was fed up. To make matters worse, the scanner broke down and the three youths were to be taken to the first floor of the police station to take their fingerprints.The chief police commissioner grabbed a 17-year-old man sitting on the floor, handcuffed and Velcroed to his legs, and pulled the young Afghan’s arms up to the shoulder joint, as the prosecution said. The 17-year-old had screamed in pain and the service group leader had only let him go when he had been asked by colleagues to stop. The police officer was immediately suspended from duty after this act. In an initial trial before the district court, he had not admitted his guilt and had been sentenced to nine months on probation.  The Landshut Regional Court then sentenced him on appeal to 150 daily rates – the policeman had to pay 9,000 euros.He did not want to torture or injure the 17-year-old, who had actively resisted and injured his colleagues, said his lawyer in court at the time. But now it’s about the further consequences of his actions: “The federal state of Bavaria has applied to downgrade his rank,” said a spokesman for the Administrative Court on request. The judges must decide whether a policeman should lose his nerve – or must suffer financial cutbacks up to the end of his life because of such  a course of action, for example with his civil servant pension.

Germany: Attacks on paramedics and policemen and harassment of women committed by immigrants

An initially normal rescue mission of the fire brigade in downtown Essen at about 1 am today had to call for police support.Shortly after 1 a.m. today, an emergency call was made to the police, stating that the crew of a Johanniter emergency ambulance on Kettwiger Street needed police support. Previously, the two rescue workers had been called to an allegedly drunk person. Later it turned out that several young women from Essen and Velbert were on their way home after a celebration together.While the two paramedics in the ambulance were trying to take care of the patient, the later accused, a 17-year-old and a 22-year-old, who live in Essen as immigrants, appeared. At first, they massively disrupted and prevented the emergency measures and presumably harassed the young women waiting at the car. Shortly afterwards, they also took violent action against the paramedics. They used a glass bottle, which they first smashed and then pushed the broken neck of the bottle towards the paramedics. While the paramedics and other uninvolved young women retreated from the attackers and tried unsuccessfully to calm them down, the first patrol car arrived. With bottles held in their hands, the young men attacked the policemen. The officers could only stop the attackers with a firearm ready. The attack continued, however, when the officer secured his weapon in the holster. With an additional police patrol arriving, both men could be overwhelmed, handcuffed and later put into police custody. Because of the assault on law enforcement officers and persons of the same standing like the paramedics, as well as other possible criminal offences, the suspects are now being investigated.

Germany: Rape by Arabs kept secret – for fear of being called “Nazi”

A female student was raped a year ago by three young men – presumably from the “Arab region”. Now the investigation has been shelved. The victim concealed the rape for almost a year for fear of “social stigmatization”. Now the family goes public, hoping to arrest the perpetrators after all. Almost a year ago, the young student was raped in Jena by three young foreigners. The young woman reported her martyrdom to the newspaper Thüringer Allgemeine when she was still in hospital. The family asked her not to publish the story in order not to burden her daughter even more. One year after the crime, the search for the perpetrators is discontinued. However, the family has now decided to make the crime public, hoping to arrest the perpetrators after all.The reason why they kept silent for a year is as insane as it is shocking: fear of social stigmatisation because the perpetrators were foreigners. ” They were three foreigners,” said the young woman about her rapists. “No black Africans, no Asians, no Scandinavians, but foreigners.” According to their language, probably from the Arab world. The rape victim announces this publicly one year after the crime committed against her.”Don’t tell anyone”, the young woman’s father said, that this hint came from his circle of acquaintances. Some people would get upset if the police publicly searched for the perpetrators and added: “Three foreign-looking men”. That would be racist, they said, the father continued. But his daughter has nothing against foreigners, absolutely nothing, so the affirmation. “Two years ago she took part in a demonstration at the Antifa in Jena when the right-wing people said the foreigners had to leave,” the fatherly character witness continued. Unfortunately, however, his family did not have much luck with foreigners. His niece from Erfurt had already been murdered in 2002. The murderer of the young woman was an Italian.
