Clan member in court: Brutal attack on policewoman shocked Berlin!

Amtsgericht Tiergarten, 10785 Berlin, Deutschland - In Berlin, a 21-year-old member of the Remmo clan is negotiated before the Tiergarten district court. It is at the center of an incident that occurred on New Year's Eve 2023/2024 when there was a violent attack on a policewoman. At the event, a 15-year-old relative of the accused was hit by a police car during a mission who drove with siren and flashing lights. The youngsters entered "suddenly the lane" and then had to be taken to the hospital, as [rbb24] (https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/bagrat/2025/06/berlin-angrüiff-preich- process-clan-buckow-amtsgericht.html).

After the accident, the accused is said to have torn the police car car door open and hit the civil servant on the face several times. The indictment includes the assault on enforcement officers, assault and resistance. Only through the intervention of several police officers could be prevented, and the accused initially fled from the crime scene, but was later identified. DNA traces of the man were found on the policewoman's protective vest. However, he has so far been silent about the allegations. A first trial test in February 2025 failed due to its illness, such as Tagetpiegel added.

clan crime in focus

The incident is part of a major discussion about clan crime in Germany, which is often classified as "family-based crime" and is associated with ethnically isolated subcultures. This form of crime is characterized by a narrow network of related people who are active in different countries and are under pressure to join criminal activities, explains Mahmoud Jaraba, who has been dealing with Arab, Turkish and Kurdish large families since 2015. Although many members of these clans do not want crime, they often see themselves in a predicament, such as [DW] (https://www.dw.com/de/clan-kriminalit%C3%A4T-Wie-gie-Gef%C3%A4hrlich-ist-s- Erlich/A-69473499) explains.

The police are aware of the challenges. Regular passenger and commercial controls as well as raids as well as raids are carried out in shisha bars and barber shops. This procedure is referred to as the "policy of the 1000 needles". Statistically speaking, the proportion of clans committed is presumably between 0.17 and 0.76 percent of all crimes. Some of the measures are also based on the "subjective feeling of security" of the population. However, critics like the criminologist Daniela Hunold say that the strategies of politics and police could be legally problematic and ineffective, which does not simplify the fight against clan crime.

Today's negotiation is eagerly awaited, both because of the explosive point of the indictment and in the context of the ongoing debate about clan crime in Germany. The case is another example of how criminal structures affect society and how the judiciary deals with such challenges.
