The perpetrators started fires and smeared swastikas on the walls.
One year after the arson attack on a restaurant in Ganderkesee, the background to the crime is unclear.
There are now suspects in a similar act in the Rotenburg district.
Ganderkesee - One year after the arson attack on the "Don Gantero" restaurant in Ganderkesee in the Oldenburg district, the background to the alleged racist act remains unclear. The proceedings were discontinued at the beginning of May, said a spokesman for the Oldenburg public prosecutor's office when asked. "If new investigative approaches emerge, the process is restarted without being asked."
On October 14, 2020, strangers set fire to the Italian restaurant and, according to the police, caused property damage of an estimated 500,000 euros. The perpetrators smeared swastikas on the walls. In addition to the "apparently politically motivated symbols" according to the police, the investigators found signs of burglary. In February 2021, the Oldenburg police chief offered a reward of 3,000 euros for information that helped to clarify the crime in the former station building. However, there have been no corresponding indications so far.
In addition to the arson in Ganderkesee, there were other arson attacks on restaurants by people with an immigrant background in the Bremen area last year.
Each time the perpetrator or the perpetrators smeared swastikas on the walls.
In mid-February 2020 it burned in the “Martini” in Syke (Diepholz district).
On the outside wall and on the pavement in front of the building, the police discovered sprayed swastikas and the slogan "Foreigners out".
Images from a surveillance camera showed two hooded people pouring gasoline as a fire accelerator in the restaurant.
Nevertheless, the crime could not be resolved and the investigation was discontinued.
