Berlin police dismantle crime ring behind fraudulent car rental scheme
Four people have been arrested in Berlin and Brandenburg on suspicion of money laundering, fraud, and drug offences. The group allegedly ran a car rental business funded by criminal activity. Police seized cash, drugs, and documents during coordinated raids.
Over 100 officers carried out ten search warrants across Berlin and Templin in Brandenburg. The operation targeted a suspected criminal network involving a 33-year-old ringleader, a 32-year-old accomplice, and two 24-year-olds.
The raids have disrupted what police describe as a well-organised operation. The suspects will appear in court to face multiple charges, including fraud, money laundering, and drug trafficking. Authorities continue to analyse the seized assets to trace the origins of the illicit funds.
