Organized crime: the state shows toughness

In NRW and Berlin in particular, the clans were able to go about their mischief undisturbed for too long. Now the most serious crimes were exposed. An important step, comments Mike Schier.


In NRW and Berlin in particular, the clans were able to go about their mischief undisturbed for too long.

Now the most serious crimes were exposed.

An important step, comments Mike Schier.

Munich - It is an extremely successful week for the security authorities: In the USA, the FBI fooled globally networked criminals by stealing crypto cell phones from their own production.

The gangsters chatted openly until the most serious crimes committed by mafia gangs or international drug syndicates were exposed.

The blow against clans in North Rhine-Westphalia was not so big in size, but no less important for Germany: A family lived in a villa there, but received six-figure social benefits.

The clan members mock the German authorities

Especially in North Rhine-Westphalia and Berlin, the clans were able to go about their mischief undisturbed for too long. For normal citizens, whom the state likes to annoy with complex forms, meticulous deadlines and fees, this increasingly caused frustration. Conversely, the clan members mocked the German authorities: They did not take the rule of law with its presumption of innocence and the possibilities of legal action seriously. Investigators are now finally speaking a language they understand, with constant pressure and sometimes symbolic action. OK then!


Incidentally, the blow in NRW also has a political note. Even if the Prime Minister generously left the headlines to his Interior Minister Herbert Reul (in Bavaria that would be rather unlikely), Armin Laschet can counter the latent accusation that he is too liberal and soft. Apparently, the candidate for chancellor can not only be tough when it comes to pushing internal party opponents out of the way.
