“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.
