In June 2019, Issa Rammo, head of the family clan of the same name, was sitting in a café across from the Berlin district court during a break in negotiations.
Suddenly he bares his chest in front of SPIEGEL TV reporter Claas Meyer-Heuer and shows a tattoo.
It is a Germany eagle in black, red and gold.
Above it says: "I'm a Berliner".
"I love this country," Issa likes to say.
You'd think that the Rammos actually arrived in Germany.
In truth, however, the integration of large parts of the family has crashed.
In police circles one speaks behind closed doors only of "the burglar family".

A small excerpt from the chronicle of the great coups: In 2017, thieves stole a hundred kilo gold coin from the Bode Museum in Berlin: Wissam and Ahmed Rammo, among others, were both sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
There is still no trace of the three million euro coin.
In November 2019 there was a spectacular break-in in the Green Vault in Dresden.
Jewelery items from the Saxon state treasure with a value of more than one hundred million euros are stolen.
Urgently suspect: several members of the Rammo family, who are now also indicted.
Why are parts of the family highly criminal?
How are they organized?
And how did the members get to Germany in the first place?
These questions are answered in the second episode of our crime podcast "In the interrogation" with investigative reporters Claas Meyer-Heuer and Thomas Heise as well as our author Christina Pohl.
