scandal at the capital police-main commissioner suspected of having robbed drivers!

A shocking incident throws a bad light on the Berlin police: a main commissioner is accused of having robbed a driver with the help of a service weapon and a civilian company car. A whopping 57,000 euros in cash and several mobile phones are said to have been captured. Now the police officer has to answer in court.

The incident occurred on July 19 on the Stadtutobahn Höhe Messedamm. The 48-year-old policeman is said to have stopped the driver together with an unknown accomplice with the help of "special signals and police trowels". The perpetrators gave the impression that it was a "proper police measure". According to the police spokesman, the main commissioner even wore his official equipment, including service weapon in the Holster.

After the driver was stopped and checked, the two perpetrators captured the 62-year-old man with handcuffs and put him in the police vehicle. Then they searched the car and captured the victim's cash and mobile phones. Particularly brazen: the alleged victim was supposedly even given a police security protocol, in which the confiscated money was not recorded, as the police spokesman said.

As Bild learned from investigators, the main commissioner is said to have known about the money transport. Whether he has received this information on business or privately is the subject of ongoing investigations. The suspect's apartment and his service rooms have already been searched. His business equipment and other evidence were ensured. In addition, his service weapon was confiscated for securing evidence.

An arrest warrant has already been issued, but the main commissioner remains at large for the time being. However, he is no longer allowed to carry out his service until the investigation was completed. It is currently being checked whether the accused is the Turkish -born Bülent C., who previously worked at the AGIA specialist service (area of ​​intercultural tasks). The AGIA is responsible for processing crimes such as illegal entry, illegal prostitution and trade with unpleasant cigarettes.

This scandal shakes confidence in the police and raises questions about the integrity and behavior of police officers again. The investigation must now show how this difficult incident could occur and whether it was an isolated case or whether other police officers were involved. The public rightly expects a transparent clarification of this matter.
