Explosive retaliation: drug war shakes Cologne-Kalk!

Köln-Kalk, Deutschland - On Thursday morning, an explosion shook a restaurant in Cologne-Kalk and left a picture of devastation. As reported [TAG24] (https://www.tag24.de/koeln/lokales/nach-explosion-ermittler-pruefen-sbahl-mit-Mit-drug war-3396485), the detonation did not cause any injuries, but considerable damage to property occurred. The public prosecutor's office is now determining whether there is a connection to the brutally guided disputes between drug gangs that have shaped the Cologne underworld for years.

A particularly explosive detail is that the son of the restaurant owner, a 23-year-old, is considered the key figure in the so-called Cologne drug war and is currently in custody. He is suspected of having founded a drug gang that acts with drugs in a large scale nationwide. The background to the background is triggered by the robbery of 350 kilograms of marijuana from a warehouse, which led to a dangerous piral of violence that resulted in explosions, shots and torture.

a dangerous milieu

The situation in drug crime in Cologne is developing into a serious threat. According to Tagesschau, shots, explosions, kidnapping and hostage frames are not only individual cases, but the logical consequence of violence among drug dealers. Investigations have shown that the Dutch "Mocro-Mafia" is only involved in the arguments; Rather, the conflicts come from less international entanglements, but are the result of rival Cologne gangs.

The public prosecutor has already initiated several process procedures against accused at the Cologne district court. There are numerous men among the 35 accused who do not come from the Netherlands. The Kalk district is often mentioned in the investigation and seems to be the center of these criminal machinations.

police increased presence

The Cologne police have the situation in mind and speaks of a new dimension of violence. [Welt] (https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/kriminalitaet/article252437474/drogenhandel-in-deutschland-koelner-Polizei-Koelner-Polizei- Neue- Neue-Dimension-Deutml) reports of an increased use of explosives and machine guns through the gangs. This extreme willingness to violence has led to complicated hostage frames, in which the police were finally able to intervene. The threat situation is acute, and criminal director Michael Esser warns of possible revenge files among the gang members - an "elephant brain" that is only waiting to strike.

Aktuell the police are looking for two men who have fled from the crime scene after the latest explosion. It remains unclear whether they are suspicious or just witnesses. There are also positive reports about the situation: For a few weeks now there has been explosions in Cologne, which may indicate that the masterminds from the Kalker gang are temporarily detained. But the situation remains tense, because drug crime in the region has the potential to escalate again at any time.
