The blood trail of the Turkish-Kurdish "Z generation mafia" and the path leading to Russia -. The world on Sunday. Part 1/2 A Turkish-Kurdish gang promoting itself on TikTok is behind the unprecedented number of shootings in Berlin. Investigators have a version about the cooperation of criminals with the Russian regime. It all started with phone calls. Unknown persons are threatening Hussein K., the owner of a Turkish karaoke bar in Berlin, demanding 100,000 euros. According to them, the money is intended to help prisoners. K does not understand what the callers want and refuses to pay. A few days later shots were fired at his house. When K still doesn't pay, the masked attackers first break the window and then throw Molotov cocktails into the bar. According to the investigation, the attackers are members of the Dalton gang. Similar attacks occur in Berlin almost every day. Only the names and occupations of the victims change. Sometimes it's a supermarket, sometimes it's a car repair shop. One branch of a driving school was bombed four times in a month. The well-ordered power structure of family clans is disrupted. Because now a new force has appeared on the streets of Berlin: the Turkish "Daltoners", or "Daltons". The new group, with Turkish-Kurdish roots, got its name from comic book characters inspired by a real historical gang of American outlaws from the Wild West. But there is nothing harmless about them. Researchers call them the "Gen Z mafia": hundreds of young criminals carry out violent and uncontrolled attacks, display their weapons on TikTok and Instagram and glorify their crimes like pop stars. Until now they have operated independently. Now the investigators have a serious suspicion: the Daltons may be cooperating with the Russian intelligence services. The question that haunts the Berlin researchers: could Russia use the Dalton network for sabotage operations?
