Berlin Police arrest two men after Neukölln cafe shooting

Berlin police have arrested two 21-year-old men following a shooting at a cafe on Hermannstraße in Neukölln. The incident, which occurred on April 2 around 4:30 AM, involved a semi-automatic weapon being fired at the cafe's window front. No injuries were reported.

Investigators believe the shooting was linked to demands for protection money. One suspect faces charges including attempted murder motivated by greed, aggravated robbery/extortion, and weapons law violations. The second suspect was arrested on suspicion of violating weapons laws.

In a coordinated operation involving approximately 80 officers and specialized units, authorities executed search warrants at seven residential and commercial addresses across Neukölln, Treptow-Köpenick, and Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. During these raids, police seized two firearms, ammunition, suspected cocaine, and mobile phones.

Justice Senator Felor Badenberg noted that the investigation reveals complex criminal structures, suggesting that some individuals are being brought from Turkey to Germany to facilitate such activities.
