Berlin Senate Plans Stronger Measures Against Organized Crime

New initiatives aim to dismantle criminal networks, seize illegal profits, and enhance inter-agency collaboration.

The Berlin Senate, led by Justice Senator Felor Badenberg, seeks to intensify efforts against organized crime in the city.
A new cooperation platform will improve coordination between justice administration, district regulatory offices, and the public prosecutor's office.
The initiative focuses on detecting criminal structures in businesses and confiscating illegal profits more effectively.
Targeted areas include e-cigarette sales, the gambling machine industry, and traditional organized crime activities like drug trafficking and human trafficking.
Additional agencies, such as customs, state criminal police, and tax authorities, may be involved as needed to combat these activities.
