Germany cautious on Syrian gangs in Leipzig
In eastern Germany, Syrian criminal clans have established themselves following the influx of migrants in 2015. Their number in Saxony is estimated to exceed a thousand individuals, most of whom are based in the Leipzig area. These clans are characterized by a variety of illicit activities, including violence, drug trafficking, money laundering, tax evasion, human smuggling, forgery, as well as social welfare fraud. The largest families comprise several members engaged in business activities that serve as fronts to conceal their illegal operations. They operate an internal dispute resolution system, reject the German judiciary, and rely on "arbitrators" to resolve conflicts—making it difficult to dismantle them. The presence of these clans raises security concerns, as they are tightly integrated and determined to support their criminal endeavors, necessitating decisive action and cooperation among authorities.
