Remmo Clan's Photo Appearances with Berlin Politicians Spark Debate

Issa Remmo, known to Berlin security authorities as a key figure in organized crime, was photographed at a Neukölln Left Party election party giving a thumbs-up. The image, showing him in a blue-grey jacket over a black T-shirt, ignited a debate and pressured Left Party politician Ferat Koçak, who subsequently withdrew from the Berlin Interior Committee. Issa and Firas Remmo have also been photographed with CDU and SPD parliamentarians in Berlin. The Remmo family's criminal record includes Wissam and Ahmed Remmo's convictions for the 2017 theft from Berlin's Bode Museum, and multiple Remmo members were convicted for the 2019 break-in at Dresden's Green Vault. The encounters raise questions about political ties to organized crime. Further details are available in the current issue of Der Freitag.
