Duisburg authorities, including the Public Prosecutor's Office and Police Duisburg, carry out warranted searches in Marxloh/Meiderich districts.
In a recent development, a police operation targeting three suspects with alleged ties to a criminal gang has taken place. The operation, which saw simultaneous entries into the suspects' residences, resulted in minimal property damage.
The focus of the operation was three individuals, aged 24, 26, and 39. One of the suspects, a 26-year-old, was taken into custody and taken to the police headquarters for identification procedures. After these procedures, the 26-year-old was subsequently released.
Interestingly, the three suspects under investigation are former executives of the controversial German financial services company, Wirecard. The company's ex-CEO, Markus Braun, remains in custody as of July 14, 2023, while the current status of the other two suspects, Oliver Bellinghaus and Stephan von Erffa, is not explicitly detailed. All three are standing trial together.
During the operation, officers secured five mobile phones and two knives, which are now part of the ongoing investigations. The analysis of these seized mobile phones will likely provide valuable insights into the case.
It is worth noting that no one was injured during the operation, and the overall execution was successful in its intended objectives.
As investigations continue, the public is encouraged to remain informed and vigilant. This case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat criminal activity and maintain the integrity of our society.
