Mahmoud Al-Zein

Mahmoud Al-Zein, nicknamed "the president of Berlin," is regarded as one of the most powerful organised crime bosses in Germany.[1]

His clan, the Al-Zein Clan, has several thousand members.[2]

Al-Zein has contacts throughout Europe, the Middle East.[3]

Biography

Al-Zein arrived in Germany in 1982 claiming asylum but his claim was rejected. Attempts to deport him, following convictions for drug trafficking offences, failed as he seemed to be stateless. He is believed to hold Lebanese or Turkish citizenship, possibly both, but the situation is unclear, continuing to hamper ongoing attempts to deport him.[4]
