Court examines eviction action for clan villa in Neukölln
The confiscated villa of a well-known Arab clan in Berlin-Neukölln is now being dealt with by the judiciary. The Neukölln District Court is examining an eviction lawsuit against the family, who lives in the villa in Berlin-Buckow, on Thursday. The district of Neukölln gave her notice last August and gave her until the end of October 2021 to move out. When the clan failed to vacate the mansion on November 1, the district went to court. The reason given by the district in particular is that the relationship of trust with the tenant has been disturbed.
The house and property belong to 77 properties that the public prosecutor’s office confiscated in 2018. According to court rulings, these were not bought with legal money. The district of Neukölln, as the responsible municipality, is now the owner of the villa. According to a district spokesman, this did not initially change the validity of the lease. However, the family also used a second piece of land, the garden next to the villa. From the point of view of the district, she was not entitled to do so.
During a police operation in July 2021, the authorities therefore put a fence between the properties to prevent further use. However, the clan wanted to continue using the garden – and impose a lease on it, which the district believes is fake. The district sees this as a breach of trust.
