Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann takes on the clans. Their criminal activities must be stopped. And he already has some ideas for it.
Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP) has called for tougher action against clan crime in Germany. “The penalties are already giving a lot. But we also have to fight specific crimes of the clans in an unconventional way,” said Buschmann of the “Bild am Sonntag”. As an example, he cited confiscating “the status symbols of clan members after crimes, such as their luxury cars, expensive jewelry and watches.” The rule of law must show “that it has teeth”.
“Fighting unconventional” clan crime
The funds for this are in the hands of the federal states, said the FDP politician. If the pressure increased, the clans would back down too. “The police need less capacity at the desks, but even more on the street,” the justice minister told the newspaper.
From the point of view of the FDP politician, clan members with a migration background should be deported more quickly in the future. “I’m in favor of our deportation capacities in the federal states being used primarily for criminals and dangerous people,” said Buschmann. “It’s grotesque that some people with permanent jobs are deported – and on the other hand the deportation of criminals fails. We have to get better at that.”
