German police raid criminal Arab, Chechen clans in Berlin, Brandenburg
Several hundred police and special forces officers raided more than 20 locations of criminals in Berlin and Brandenburg on Thursday.
The raid is part of an investigation into organised crime, arms, drug trafficking, and extortion, the police said.
The raid resulted from an investigation by the Federal Criminal Police Department and tax investigation authorities in Berlin and Brandenburg following a clash between Arab and Chechen groups last November.
Two people were detained, Spiegel magazine reported.
The focus of the investigation is a member of the Remmo clan, it added.
