Activities in Germany
The so-called Arabaci-Clan reportedly controlled the bouncer scene of the nightclubs in Cologne's entertainment district, the Kölner Ringe, and his gang of bouncers reportedly befriended girls in order to exploit them as prostitutes.[5] Arabaci also controlled several brothels in the Rhein-Ruhr region of Germany.[6]
While already in prison, he reputedly still controlled the "Colosseum" brothel in Augsburg.[6] In 2008 after his deportation, police still strongly suspected him to control the brothel[7] and several members of Arabaci's clan were sighted in Berlin in 2008, possibly trying to gain a foothold for the gang in the city's red-light scene.[8]
During his detention in Germany, Arabaci reportedly plotted to kill the prosecutor and hired an Albanian contract killer from Duisburg.[9] The police had bugged his visiting room, and the prosecutor was given bodyguards and police protection.[9] Based on the transcripts, Arabaci was prosecuted again to obtain "Sicherungsverwahrung" (indefinite imprisonment of extremely dangerous criminals). At trial, a mistranslation of some of the transcripts was detected, and Arabaci was acquitted.[10] The prosecutor fled Germany in 2007 when Arabaci was deported to Turkey.[11]
An insider reported, that Arabaci has signed a cooperation with the Street Gang "United Tribuns".[12]
