Expressure scandal in Berlin: twin brothers under pressure!

Berlin, Deutschland - The Berlin police carried out extensive searches at several locations today to find an attempt to blackmail. Apartments by five accused were searched in districts such as Hakenfelde, Buckow, Neukölln and Tempelhof. This happened at the order of the public prosecutor. Behind these investigations is a violent dispute within a construction service company in which two 44-year-old twin brothers are involved as a quiet partner. A 43-year-old businessman had transferred 95,000 euros to the company as an advance payment for future services, but later wanted to offset this sum with invoices from the company. However, the twin brothers urged him and asked the repayment, under the threat of violence.

according to the Berliner Zeitung threatened the businessman and asked his Rolex o'clock as "compensation". The desperate man then published the Rolex watch. Another extortion attempt, also against the same businessman, took place in April 2025. Two men tried to blackmail him and claimed that they had been commissioned by third parties to kill him. Although they had equipped themselves for an actual murder order, they ultimately gave up and asked for 30,000 euros that they had already spent. These men, at the age of 37 and 29, are now determined because of various offenses, including attempted predatory extortion.

evidence and weapons collection

In the course of the searches, the police forces not only found electronic data carriers, but also a fright gun, a machete, a knife, storm hoods, a stab protection vest, a fake driver's license and a Rolex clock. These finds illustrate the seriousness of the extortion attempts and raise questions about the procedure of the suspects. The police also check whether there are connections between the two blackmail attempts.

These incidents lie against the background of a general increase in crime in Berlin. According to Tagesspiegel In 2023 the killing offices rose by more than 50 percent, And the youth group violence also increased significantly. The outstanding fact is that the number of homicides in Berlin rose from 77 in 2022 to 117 in 2023.

extended security measures

The increase in violence and blackmail triggered the alarm among the security authorities. The Berlin police recently carried out comprehensive measures against right -wing groups, in which numerous evidence, including weapons, were ensured. These actions underline the use of the police to take action against the violence spiral in the city and to strengthen the feeling of security of the citizens.

The circumstances of the extortion attempts and the associated weapon offenses are closely observed, while the Berlin police and the public prosecutor's office are striving to identify further connections and potential sources of danger in the capital.
