To the deletion discussion

Reason: Recurring article that has already been deleted , relaunched a month later with the same poor quality . Even if the article has improved formally in the meantime, the shortcomings mentioned in the deletion decision remain essentially the same: a juxtaposition of newspaper snippets and disregard for the personal rights of the bearers of the name, who are not all criminals, see e.g. this LD article. There is no secondary literature that goes beyond snippets of media, and unfortunately no improvement in the lemma is to be expected. - Big Virgil ( discussion ) 00:25, Aug 20, 2020 (CEST)

The Al-Zein - Clan (also El-Zein, Al-Zayn ) is one of Southeast Anatolia coming, drawn on Lebanon to Europe extended family of mhallami . Some of the members in Germany have become conspicuous as serious offenders through organized crime or gang crime .

Multiple convictions or condemned some family members mainly because of drugs and illegal drug trafficking, due to severe violence or bodily harm , dangerous interference with road traffic , fraud , because of rape or shoplifting and trespassing , for benefit fraud , illegal weapons possession and homicide . In interviews, members also admit to extorting protection and money laundering . Since the name is relatively widespread in the Arab culture, the name does not automatically mean that the bearer belongs to a clan.

First media presence

Mahmoud Al-Zein

Mahmoud (Mohaiddine) Al-Zein entered Germany in 1982 as an asylum seeker with a Lebanese passport. After his asylum application was rejected in 1986, he could no longer be deported as a stateless person in Germany, as his nationality could not be assigned due to no longer available identification documents. Mahmoud Al-Zein had a previous conviction for drug trafficking, assault and robbery in 1998 and was convicted again in 2003 as a drug trafficker. Even at that time, media reports referred to him as the clan chief. In 2003 Mahmoud Al-Zein became an issue between the then Turkish Interior Minister Aksu and the then German Interior Minister Otto Schily , as the Turkish side refused to deport him to Turkey. Mahmoud Al-Zein was convicted of drug trafficking again in 2005 and was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.

Victim of violence

Murder of Iptehal Al-Zain

On September 1, 2008, Iptehal Al-Zain, then 20 years old, was found dead at a motorway service station. In January 2010, her cousin Ezzedin Al-Zain, who was 20 at the time of the offense , was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by the Hagen District Court for involvement in the murder on low grounds . The victim's uncle, who was also involved in the murder, has since evaded criminal prosecution by leaving the country. According to the judgment of the court, the murder was decided by a family council ( honor killing ), which did not accept the woman's lifestyle because she lived in a women's refuge before the crime . In September 2012, the suspect uncle Hussain Al-Zein was arrested in Finland, found guilty of collective murder on July 15, 2013 after being transferred to Germany and sentenced to life imprisonment . Iptehal's brother Hüsein Al-Zein was sentenced in the same trial to a youth sentence of six and a half years for involvement in murder.

Mahmoud Omeirat Charr

On the night of September 2, 2015, Manuel Charr was shot and seriously injured in a kebab shop in Essen . On September 14th, Youssef Hassan, née Al-Zein, who had been wanted by a public manhunt, presented himself to the police with a confession of fact. He was sentenced to five years in prison for dangerous physical harm.

More crimes

KaDeWe attack

On December 20, 2014, five people, including Khalil Al-Zein, Jehad Al-Zein, Hamza Al-Zein and Hussein Miri, attacked the Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe). In doing so, they caused considerable property damage with cutting weapons and committed bodily harm by spraying irritant gas , as this caused respiratory problems for the customers present. Their loot was jewelry worth 817,260 euros. After a public manhunt, three of the five perpetrators were caught and convicted. In May 2016, Jehad Al-Zein was sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison and Hamza Al-Zein was sentenced to two years and nine months of youth imprisonment in October of the same year.

Murder assignment from Zaki Al-Zein

In December 2017, Zaki Al-Zain was sentenced to six years and eleven months in prison for attempted murder and aiding and abetting in the robbery of KaDeWe, in which his sons Jehad Al-Zein and Hamza Al-Zein were involved.

Parallel justice

In an RBB report from 2018 on criminal Arab clans, Jamal El-Zein, as the family's Islamic justice of the peace, confirmed parallel justice , as did judgments after homicides .

Family Union 2011

In February 2011, family member Zadine El-Zein, together with a member of the Miri clan, presented a family union in an interview with Tagesspiegel , which reaches an estimated 70% of the members of both families. The aim of the Family Union is to convince young family members in particular that an educational path is more promising than a criminal career. The Familien-Union wanted to open its own leisure facilities in the Berlin districts of Neukölln , Wedding and Spandau . At the same time, in an interview, the Union emphasized its willingness to cooperate with the police. The members also include members of other large Arab families, including the Remmo clan .

At the end of 2018, the city of Essen discontinued its cooperation with the association due to unfulfilled hopes . The workers' welfare organization in the youth sector has also broken off its partnership with the family union "Because of the incompatibility of goals" . In 2019, members of the Family Union received a threat from the Essen police after the Berlin migration researcher Ralph Ghadban was threatened by members of various clans with the publication of the book Arab Clans - the underestimated danger . In May 2019, the chairman of the Family Union resigned.
