Young man arrested in Essen: two years of jail after predatory extortion!

A shocking discovery in Essen Central Station: Federal police officers checked a 21-year-old man last night and arrested him! When checking his identity, it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against him. The Essen District Court sentenced him to two years of imprisonment in April 2025 for predatory extortion and dangerous bodily harm.

The young man who had no ID documents with him only gave oral information about his person. But the police officers were not deceptive and carried out a data comparison that clearly confirmed his identity. After identification, he was immediately transferred to a correctional facility. This shows once again how important police controls are in our train stations to combat crime!
