Overview

• An internal investigation was opened after video from an RTL press event led to the positive identification of at least one LKA 61 protection officer alongside the rapper.
• The officer has been removed from personal protection duties pending the outcome of the checks and any further investigative steps.
• Authorities are considering initiating disciplinary proceedings, and sources say such private work would likely breach rules given the officer’s prior official protection of the musician.
• Police say no permission for remunerated secondary employment was on file, and it remains unclear whether the officer was paid or carried a service weapon during the alleged private assignment.
• Bushido has not received official LKA protection since January 2024, and reports of additional officers or past travel with him remain unconfirmed and under review.
