Raid in Wilhelmshaven: Clank rimity uncovered and suspected arrested!

In the early Monday morning, the police in Wilhelmshaven carried out a significant raid that affected both a restaurant and seven private living spaces. This measure was part of extensive investigations in connection with clank rimity. In this violent environment, two men between the ages of 25 and 26 were arrested, which were taken into custody due to the urgent suspicion of the dangerous bodily harm.

During the search, the officials found weapons, knives, cash and small amounts of narcotics. This current raid is in the context of violent conflicts between rival groups, which have taken place in the region in recent months. The Revealed police are investigating a total of five men between the ages of 23 and 51 who are presumably connected to these criminal clans.

background of the investigation

The clashes that led to the investigation occurred in July and August of this year. Four of the suspicious men are suspected of committing dangerous bodily harm or having provided aid. According to reports, knives are also said to have been used in these conflicts, while the fifth suspect is accused of having carried out punishment.

The police have increased its presence in Wilhelmshaven since the end of August and announced a determined approach to clank rimity. Jörg Beensen, the head of the police inspection, made it clear that "legal rooms are not tolerated in Wilhelmshaven and in the district of Friesland". In addition to officers from the local police inspection, members of the Friesland police inspection, who acted at the request of the public prosecutor's office in Osnabrück, were also involved in the large raid. The Oldenburg public prosecutor is also active in this case, as there are additional suspicions of drug crime.

controversy about the term "clankriminality"

The term "clankriminality" is used again and again by the police, but this expression is precisely criticized. According to the definition of the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior, a clan denotes criminal groups that are associated with family relationships and ethnic origin. Critics such as Thomas Müller, an expert on organized crime, emphasize that this classification leads to a generalization that does not meet the diverse background of those affected. In his opinion, this concept creates a potentially criminal image of interest groups, which can lead to further stigmatization.

Müller illustrates this using a hypothetical example: "If you see all Müllers as potentially criminal and constantly checks them, it shapes the image in society." Therefore, critics suggest to speak of "organized crime" or "criminal gangs" to enable a more differentiated view.

The crimes with clan relocation seem to be an increase, according to the State Criminal Police Office. While the Interior Minister does not exist in Lower Saxony, there is still a reference to the increase in heavy police operations. In view of the situation, the police will not let up under the circumstances given and continue to fight for order and security in Wilhelmshaven.
