Public prosecutor's office strikes: Church in Cologne confiscated because of smuggling scandal
Cologne in the eyes of the investigators!
In a shocking twist to the luxury smuggling scandal, the Cologne public prosecutor's office has confiscated the former Church of the Resurrection! The focus of the investigation, which revolves around the commercial and gang smuggling of wealthy Chinese migrants, is being expanded by the authorities to the property in Cologne. At the beginning of September, the well-known brothel “Pascha” also became the target of the investigation, according to the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”.
Senior public prosecutor Daniel Vollmert, who heads the central and contact point for the prosecution of organized crimes in North Rhine-Westphalia (ZeOS NRW), obtained the order from the district court and confirmed the explosive details of the investigation. The files reveal that Solingen entrepreneurs, supported by lawyers, illegally smuggled foreign investors from countries such as China, Oman and Turkey into Germany. Horrific sums of money, often thousands of euros, were charged for this disgraceful service.
A network of shadows!
The luxury smuggling affair is spreading in network-like circles! In addition to money laundering and dubious donations to the SPD in Solingen, the imminent danger of organized crime is obvious. With this seizure, the public prosecutor's office is alarmingly highlighting how deeply rooted the problem is and what financial machinations are going on in the background. The arrest of the masterminds and the uncovering of the entire complex are now on the investigators' priority list!
