Berlin Police Tighten Secondary-Job Controls After Bushido Bodyguard Allegations

The case has triggered a prosecutorial inquiry into Bushido alongside internal investigations into unauthorized private security ties.

Overview

  • Police leaders told the Berlin interior committee they will audit approvals for secondary employment across the entire force.
  • Protection details will be rotated more frequently to maintain professional distance between officers and protected persons.
  • Annual reviews will scrutinize outside work in greater detail, requiring clearer documentation of self-employed roles.
  • The affected LKA commission has been dissolved with its leadership removed and staff reassigned, while disciplinary and criminal reviews proceed.
  • Berlin’s General Prosecutor is investigating Bushido on suspicion of granting advantages, with the presumption of innocence noted.
