Gold godfather and SEK drama: Spectacularly ended in Cologne-Rodenkirchen!

What an exciting time in Cologne! On June 3, 2025, a day that will remain unforgettable not only for those affected, but also for the police at the district court. In a dramatic effort, a kidnapped Bochum couple could be freed, which was tortured in a basement in Rodenkirchen. This rescue operation came about under considerable time pressure, as a police officer reported during the court hearing. The escape of a accomplice, who called himself a "gold god", finally led to the determination and arrest of many participants who were involved in the violent machinations of a Cologne drug gang.

The excited man who appeared at the Essen police headquarters reported the hostage -taking and spoke of a so -called killer command from Amsterdam, which acted with machine guns. During the interrogation, this man even received news from a "signal" group, and videos of the hostages were on seeing. During his interrogation, the deployment command (SEK) was organized, which ultimate the hostage was released. However, it seems that the "gold godfather" has tried to play its role in the hostage -taking; The victims reported that he had used a golden weapon.

The background of the crime

The background of the kidnapping are just as frightening as the deed itself. A robbery of 350 kilograms of marijuana and a betrayal within the drug gang formed the fiery foundation that triggered this spiral of violence. Botan I., a main suspect, is now being put on trial because of the aid because he is accused of having handed over weapons to the kidnappers. In these events, the Cologne public prosecutor not only senses the arguments in the region, but also the far -reaching conflicts within drug crime.

But not only in Rodenkirchen the minds heat up. It has been shown that the Dutch "Mocro-Mafia" is only marginally involved in the conflicts that are currently taking place in Cologne. According to the Tagesschau, the main cause of violence is the internal quarrels within a Cologne drug gang that is responsible for resale drugs. The Cologne drug dealers are stored by cannabis on a commission business of two million euros, with the gang itself lost some drugs through internal disputes.

The current developments

A trial at the Cologne District Court has just started, in which three men are charged with the robbery of 700 kilograms of marijuana and the hostage -taking. Aymen G., a 22-year-old German-Algerier, is one of the main suspects. Among other things, he has to answer for severe robbery and deprivation of freedom. The procedures against the alleged Cologne gang members are increasingly complex, since they often come from precarious conditions and are committed as henchmen. Safety measures for the Cologne processes have been increased accordingly in order to ensure the security of everyone involved, while the crime situation in the region continues to worsen.

At the moment, two more processes are running in connection with the so -called “Cologne drug war”, which affect a total of around 40 accused. The Cologne gang, which acts in these structures, shows a high degree of brutality: torture and hostage frames are used to discipline rebellious members. Certainly a topic that the Cologne population will continue to employ.

whether the arrests, such as those of 23 suspects in January 2025, actually lead to a calming down the situation or whether further explosions and acts of violence can be expected. But the Cologne drug war shows that something is going on here that the city and its citizens have a strong influence.
