Money laundering allegations against the extended R. family: Real estate in the sights
The hearing about the confiscation of confiscated clan real estate at the Berlin district court resulted in the two defendants, Karim R. and Abdulrahim M., not appearing in person but being represented by their lawyers. The proceedings focus on five properties and apartments with a total value of around ten million euros, which are assigned to the extended R. family of Arab origin, to which Karim R. belongs.
The prosecution alleges that these properties were purchased with the proceeds of crime. The investigators assume that Karim R. and Abdulrahim M. acquired several properties between 2013 and 2019, although the origin of the money is questioned. It remains to be seen whether these men's allegations can be proven.
The defendants' lawyers argued that the funds for the real estate came from the assets of their parents and grandparents and emphasized that their client had nothing to do with crimes committed by relatives. They described the prosecution's claims as illegitimate and claimed that the assets did not come from crime.
The defense pointed out that previous court decisions have rejected the confiscation of properties because there was no evidence that they were financed with illegal means. The lawyers emphasized the stigmatization of their client by the public prosecutor and called for a fair trial without prejudice. The court is planning a total of 25 days of hearings for the trial.
