Violence series Stuttgart: Politics and the police increase pressure

In the discussion about the end of the violence series in the Stuttgart area, cities, municipalities, police and politics plan joint measures to put pressure on the suspects and address potential sympathizers. The aim is to reduce the sphere of influence of criminal groups, said Interior Minister Thomas Strobl. In addition, prevention measures should protect young people from criminal structures. A joint explanation of various state bodies and town hall chiefs emphasizes the search for solutions in order to prevent young people from joining violent groups. The measures should be adapted to the developing perpetrators and expanded within the available funds.

The violent discussion of two groups in the Stuttgart area has led to numerous bloody attacks with firearms and even a hand grenade in the past more than two years. Some supporters have already been sentenced to long prison terms. The exact steps that are to be taken to contain violence are not explicitly named in the declaration. The challenge is to combat the growing threat from the perpetrator groups and increase prevention measures in order to prevent further outbursts of violence and to improve the level of safety in the region.
