For almost a year and a half, the Bushido trial against Arafat Abou-Chaker has been going on at the Berlin district court – now there could be a turnaround. Because a sound recording contradicts the statements of the key witness.
The relationship status of Bushido and the Abou-Chakers is currently complicated. The two have worked closely together for years, there was even a general power of attorney, but now everything seems to be over. star-Journalist Walter Wüllenweber has been following the Bushido vs. Abou Chaker drama since 2013. In the “important today” interview, he explains the importance of the process for the authorities. “This trial is currently the largest criminal trial at the largest German criminal court and is a real symbolic trial because the police and law enforcement agencies and politicians absolutely want to show that we are doing something against clan crime, we have understood that we have to take this seriously. “
Possible turning point in the Bushido process
Now a highly explosive audio file has surfaced. Bushido’s statements no longer seem credible, so far he had claimed to have been threatened at a meeting on January 18, 2018, locked up and injured with a plastic bottle. “We know this tape well, we had the opportunity to listen to it in detail and to compare it with Bushido’s statements – and lo and behold: there are not only significant deviations, but you have the feeling that one has nothing to do with the other do,” says Wüllenweber in an interview with Michel Abdollahi.
