Bomb in Cologne-Kalk: Police chases Mocro-Mafia masterminds!

In the early morning hours of June 19, there was a shock wave in Cologne-Kalk: a restaurant on the busy corner of Kalk-Deutzer-Straße/Deutzer Ring was shaken by a massive explosion. Fortunately, nobody was inside at the time of the crime, which could avoid injuries. However, the effects of the explosion were devastating. Window panes broke and chairs flew to the sidewalk, while the Cologne police are now looking for the bomb layer, which apparently has connections to the notorious Mocro mafia, reports BILD.de.

The main suspect, Sermet A. (23), is - at least for now - in custody in France and is suspected not only to be part of a larger drug ring, but also to have the possession of 700 kilos of marijuana. This quantity is said to have already been stolen from 350 kilos in the event of a robbery by rivaling dealers. In the Cologne investigation, there are connections to brutal intimidation tactics, including torture and hostage -taking, which are apparently used for internal punishment. Chief Prosecutor Ulrich Bremer mentioned that it is a well-organized drug trafficking, which is partially handled by Dutch suppliers, according to the information from wdr.

The search for traces

The police were able to identify the bomb layer thanks to a surveillance camera. The suspect is described as about 1.80 meters tall and wore a hoodie and jogging pants. Before the explosion, he could have handled with a mobile phone, possibly to make a video of the bomb. After the crime, he fled towards the Deutz University of Technology, accompanied by another unknown. The police asked the population for help and hopes that witnesses will report. Information can be received on the phone number 0221 229-0 or by email to poststelle.koeln@polizei.nrw.de

Current investigations by the Cologne public prosecutor's office lasting five months and have identified 35 accused. So far, 15 men have been arrested in Germany while another man is being held in Paris. The entanglements of the Cologne accused suggest that they are not individual offenders, but a group that organizes the resale of drugs. A particularly common name in the investigation is "lime" - apparently a central point in this criminal network.

The Mocro-mafia

The Mocro-Mafia, which has its origin in the Netherlands, has expanded its influence on the drug market in Germany. This group is known for its unscrupulous practices and represents a serious threat to public security. According to reports, the machinations of Mocro-mafia are not only limited to Cologne, but extends over several cities in Germany. Nevertheless, according to the Cologne public prosecutor, there are no signs of a unhindered spread of this group in the city. Instead, the Kalker gang, which has moved into 700 kilos of cannabis from the Netherlands, seems to have internal conflicts that lead up to thefts under their own ranks Spiegel.de reported.

The location remains tense while the investigation is continued. The Cologne police are determined to hold the masterminds behind these crimes to recover the feeling of security in Cologne-Kalk.
