Is Berlin Turning into Europe's Chicago
The number of firearm violence incidents and shooting crimes in Berlin has been increasing, with police recording a 68% rise in firearms usage in 2025 compared to the previous year, resulting in multiple injuries and fatalities. Investigations revealed that most illegal weapons originate from Turkey and are used in personal disputes, family conflicts, and extortion, particularly targeting shop owners of Turkish and Kurdish origins. In response, the police established two specialized units, "VIRM" and "TELUM," to combat these crimes, successfully arresting over 50 suspects and searching thousands of locations, with ongoing operations aimed at dismantling criminal networks. Additionally, younger individuals are increasingly involved, often recruited online, with motives for shooting incidents varying from personal disagreements to power struggles in drug trafficking and counterfeit activities.
