Overview

  • Police said 12 apartments were searched and 15 people and a dog were found, with no resistance reported.
  • Search warrants were issued by the Amtsgericht Tiergarten after requests from the property owner's lawyers tied to multiple eviction lawsuits at the Landgericht Berlin II.
  • The operation seeks to identify current occupants so the court can determine the proper targets of pending eviction claims.
  • Roughly 700 officers were deployed across the city, and police secured the courthouse and the owner's company offices due to possible protests.
  • The LKA state security unit is investigating recent vandalism at an office linked to the British majority owner as suspected intimidation connected to the dispute.
