Berlin court rejects confiscation of clan properties
The background to the proceedings were money laundering allegations against the 27-year-old. In 2019, the public prosecutor's office accused him of having invested money from criminal offenses in the purchase of the properties. The origin of the money had thus been concealed. The properties and other assets were seized during the proceedings. In 2020, the public prosecutor's office discontinued the proceedings because there was no evidence of criminal conduct.
The court rejected confiscation on other legal grounds. It "cannot be ruled out" that the financing of the properties "came from legal sources", it stated. The ruling, which was issued on Tuesday, is not yet legally binding.
