The Cologne police are taking over the investigation after the explosion in the port. This indicates a connection with the alleged series of attacks by the “Mocro Mafia”.
Everything indicates that the “Mocro Mafia” is behind the explosion. In recent weeks, there have been several cases throughout North Rhine-Westphalia with a similar modus operandi. Explosions have already occurred in Cologne, Engelskirchen and Duisburg, but also in Düsseldorf. The first arson attack took place here in mid-July on an office and commercial building on Berliner Allee. The second case last night involves a luxury property in the Media Harbor.
The bomb exploded in front of “Tower 2” of the Frankonia project “Winwin”. The project with two twin towers is exclusive housing in the media harbor. Employees of the local real estate company did not want to give t-online any information, but according to the homepage, “the Winwin community is where determined entrepreneurs meet creative personalities.” A roof garden, concierge and five-star residential service are a matter of course here.
In “Tower 2” there is a lounge, an in-house restaurant and a private fitness studio on the ground floor. Above that there are several floors with rental apartments, with floors 15 to 18 being condominiums. The roof terrace has a kitchen for residents.
Exclusive living has its price. The basic rent for an already reserved, approximately 74 square meter apartment in “Tower 2” on the 17th floor is 2,590 euros. There are also additional costs of 500 euros and 230 euros for the parking space. A condominium has been advertised on the “immobilienscout24” portal. The asking price for a 75 square meter three-room apartment on the 15th floor is 1,303,300 euros. Including the property transfer tax, notary fees and the land register entry, the total costs are 1,414,081 euros.
After the nighttime explosion in Düsseldorf, which left no one injured, the Cologne police took over the investigation on Monday morning. This suggests a connection with cases of the “Mocro Mafia” in recent weeks, which the investigators did not confirm. “We are checking whether there is such a connection. If that is not the case, the investigation will be handed back to Düsseldorf,” said a police spokeswoman in Cologne.
Witnesses who can provide information about the incident in Düsseldorf are asked to contact the police by phone at 0221/229-0 or by email at poststelle.koeln@polizei.nrw.de.
