Approximately 200 law enforcement officials present and active. - Clan Raid Uncovers Hidden Cash Reserves
On a Wednesday, approximately 200 law enforcement agents carried out simultaneous searches at the residences of a notorious criminal clan in Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
During the raid, the authorities found various weapons, along with two well-concealed caches of money containing a substantial fortune.
Busting the gold coin scam
The prosecutor's office disclosed that the investigation is targeting five individuals, three of whom are from Chemnitz (26, 46, 48), all with German citizenship.
The 26-year-old reportedly bribed a car dealer in Saxony-Anhalt in January, exchanging his money for gold bars or gold coins. But the dealer informed on him, leading to his arrest. During his detainment, police found 200,000 euros, including counterfeit currency.
The 46-year-old is alleged to have commissioned a heist in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: the victim was lured into purchasing a vehicle, only to be robbed.
It's also alleged that both the clan members and the leader evaded income and sales tax for years. When the police tried to apprehend the mastermind behind the robbery on Wednesday, he suddenly fell ill, prompting a trip to the hospital.
Hidden cash: 90,000 euros behind drywall
Police spokeswoman Jana Ulbricht revealed that "a large amount of evidence was confiscated from the houses and apartments, including two automatic guns, data storage devices, and documents."
The officers also uncovered a large sum of money with the help of detecting dogs: 90,000 euros were concealed behind a wall! Another 30,000 euros were found in a vehicle.
As for the origin of the clan members' money, it's believed that they may have swindled individuals using shock or grandchild deception scams.
From rug salesmen to professional scammers
The G. clan is known as Germany's most unscrupulous family: for many years, they sold cheap carpets at ridiculously high prices at people's front doors, eventually shifting their focus to grandparent scams, credit scams, and money laundering. The group managed to accumulate a fortune worth millions.
At the start of this year, two members were implicated in Cologne for purportedly stealing 170,000 euros from the state. Authorities are now in the process of seizing a luxurious family home in Leverkusen.
