The “hand for the rough” does the dirty work. When someone like that unpacks, it becomes dangerous. Veysel K. (41) is said to have been Arafat Abou-Chaker’s “clan executor” for years. Now it is certain: He remains in safe exile in Turkey, but still testifies in Berlin as a witness!
Day 85 in the trial of Arafat Abou-Chaker (46) and three of his brothers. In 2018, the clan boss is said to have demanded several million from rapper Anis “Bushido” Ferchichi (44) for the end of their business.
The rapper is said to have been locked up, hit with a bottle and thrown at with a chair. The clan brothers are silent.
Bushido’s family was under police protection in Berlin for four years, then they went into exile in Dubai at the end of August.
The trial had already been running for seven months when, on March 12, 2021, the important witness Veysel K. was deported to Turkey in the dark. Another chamber of the district court had sentenced the “clan executor” to two years and nine months in prison, but surprisingly he was spared.
The clan judges had to move heaven and earth to get Arafat’s “buddy” to testify. On December 7th and 14th, the video will be switched to Turkey.
In the dispute between the clan boss and the German rapper, Veysel K. recently clearly sided with Bushido. The fact is: He knows far too much to be able to do without him.
continued Monday. Judgment (scheduled) January 23, 2023.
