Activities
The so-called Arabaci-Clan reportedly controlled the bouncer scene of the night clubs in Cologne's entertainment district, the Kölner Ringe, and his gang of bouncers reportedly befriended girls in order to exploit them as prostitutes.[3] Arabaci also controlled several brothels in the Rhein-Ruhr region of Germany.[4]
While already in prison, he reputedly still controlled the "Colosseum" brothel in Augsburg.[4] In 2008 after his deportation, police still strongly suspected him to control the brothel[5] and several members of Arabaci's clan were sighted in Berlin in 2008, possibly trying to gain a foothold for the gang in the city's red-light scene.[6]
Detention in Germany
During his detention in Germany, Arabaci reportedly plotted to kill the prosecutor, and hired an Albanian contract killer from Duisburg.[7] But the police had bugged his visiting room, and the prosecutor was given bodyguards and police protection.[7] The prosecutor fled the country in 2007 when Arabci was deported to Turkey.[8]
