from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mehmet Bağcı (born 1970 or 1971) is a Turkish-nationalist activist and president of the banned in July 2018 Germany rocker similar association Ottomans Germania BC .

Life

After a career as a kickboxer , during which he also fought for the German national team, Bağcı turned to the organization of Turkish street gangs. At the same time, he expanded his contacts with Turkish nationalists from the environment of the Justice and Development Party (AKP). According to its own information, the Club Ottoman Germania was founded in April 2015 by men of Turkish origin. Bağcı and the ex- Hells Angel Selçuk "Can" Şahin were its founding presidents. In 2016, the association was one of the fastest growing groups in the German rocker milieu. Bağcı also carried the title of "World President".

The federal government confirmed that Bağcı met in February 2016 in Zurich with the AKP MP Metin Külünk , who is very active in Germany . The Mannheim UETD functionary Yılmaz İlkay Arın acted according to Stuttgarter Zeitung as a middleman between Bağcı and its Ottomans and the organization.

In 2017, Bağcı traveled with other members of the Ottoman Germania BC to Antalya to a conference of conservative Turkish forces with the participation of the German AKP organization Union of European-Turkish Democrats (UETD) and the Turkish ruling party AKP. There it should have been about a common strategy of political action, reported the Stuttgarter Zeitung .

The state criminal investigation offices of Hesse and Baden-Württemberg took rigorous action against the Ottomans Germania from mid-2017 and had Bağcı arrested in addition to Bağcı's deputy Selçuk “Can” Şahin and Levent Uzundal, previous president of the dissolved Stuttgart Chapter . Bağcı and others were accused of organizing retaliatory actions against dropouts from the alleged Ottoman boxing club. A street battle on November 21, 2016 in Ludwigsburg also played a role . A 24-year-old member of the Kurdish gang Bahoz is said to have been beaten and seriously injured by a group of Ottomans. In addition, a young woman is said to have been forced into prostitution .

Bağcı was on August 17, 2017 remand taken. Starting in March 2018, the Stuttgart Regional Court was negotiating against Bağcı and seven co-defendants members of the Ottoman Germania BC on charges of attempted murder, attempted manslaughter and human trafficking. He was released from custody in April 2018, but was immediately detained again for another offense.

In January 2019, Bağcı was sentenced to 8 months probation for various acts of violence.

According to media reports based on testimony of two police officers in the process, Bağcı is said to have provided the Hessian police with information about the group from spring 2017 until his arrest in August 2017. In July 2017, he is said to have voluntarily handed over his cell phone to the investigating police officer in order to read out the stored data.
