🔥The Arab clan caused pure devastation in the villa before moving out

For years, it has been examined whether the state of Berlin was allowed to confiscate properties belonging to the Remmo clan. After years of legal dispute, the family villa in Neukölln is now being evacuated - with great media interest.

It is the capital's most famous clan property: the Remmo Villa. A Wilhelminian style house in Alt-Buckow in the south of Berlin-Neukölln - 164 square meters, eight rooms, a large garden. After a years-long legal dispute between the Neukölln district office and the family of Arab origin, the property will be forcibly evacuated this Wednesday morning .

The property is one of 77 properties that were seized by the Berlin public prosecutor's office and the State Criminal Police Office in the summer of 2018. Investigators were convinced that the properties were financed with money from crime. It also involved allegations of money laundering and real estate transactions in Lebanon. The temporary seizure was the result of extensive investigative work and was considered a temporary success in the fight against clan crime in the capital.

This Wednesday the time has come. It was shortly after 10 a.m. when a large contingent of public order offices, bailiffs and the police arrived in front of the villa. Days before, the adjacent street had been declared a no-parking zone. Security precautions have been significantly increased than is usual for forced evictions. After all, it's about clearing the property of one of the capital's most famous clans.

There is a wrecked car in the front yard of the villa and pieces of furniture in the courtyard. Bulky waste lies around the house. In the last few days, the clan has been preparing for their move, packing boxes, cleaning the sidewalk in front of the house with the leaf blower and even digging up the garden.

But appearances are deceiving. Before they moved out, the clan caused pure devastation in the villa: the wooden floor was torn out, cables were hanging out of the wall, and windows were smashed. There is a lot of bulky waste, antiques, a silver Advent wreath, boxes with dishes and old children's books in the garden. A student calendar sticks out of one with the inscription “Time to be happy.”

The Arab family is said to have evacuated the house by 3 a.m. A few hours later she is said to have left the property. The “BZ” had previously reported.
