During a mafia raid in Duisburg, the police searched two bars, among other things. At the same time things got hot elsewhere.

Great excitement in front of an Italian ice cream parlor in downtown Duisburg and an Italian restaurant in the Bucholz district. The police searched both bars last Thursday (June 29). The authorities have now given details of the background.

The investigations in Duisburg were related to a raid against organized Italian crime, which also took place in Höxter and Kassel. During the searches, the investigators uncovered connections to the notorious mafia family `Ndrangheta. The main suspect (34) is on the run.

Duisburg: Strike against Italian mafia
In total, the investigators examined twelve buildings in the past week. In addition to the two Italian restaurants, the officers searched two other properties in Duisburg. The public prosecutor's office has not yet given any details about the searches in the Ruhr area city.

However, it is clear that they were related to investigations in Höxter and Kassel. In the Hessian city, the police officers were able to arrest a man (25) after undercover investigations by a special unit. However, there is no trace of another main suspect (34).

Alleged mafioso on the run
The 34-year-old was targeted by investigators in January this year after an acquaintance reported him missing. The police routinely paid him a visit to his apartment in Höxter and landed a lucky hit. The officers found a total of 147 kilograms of marijuana. However, there was no trace of the 34-year-old.
