German Police Dismantle Georgian Theft Ring in Major Raid

Authorities conducted raids across multiple cities, arresting twelve individuals linked to a network trafficking stolen goods.

Raids took place in Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg, and Berlin, targeting six locations including homes and warehouses.
Twelve Georgian nationals were arrested, accused of operating a theft ring transporting stolen goods to Italy and Georgia.
The investigation began in February 2022, uncovering links to organized crime groups based outside of Germany.
The alleged leader, a 54-year-old sub-contractor for the Georgian Post, used legitimate logistics to mask illicit activities.
Nearly 200 officers participated in the operation, which involved collaboration with international law enforcement agencies.
