A German drug lord is killed with five bullets in Barcelona. As “Bild” reports, this is the German-Turkish Ilmettin A.. The background is said to be a business dispute with a Latin American cartel.

The crime took place last Saturday near the Olympic Village. One or more killers lay in wait there for the man, who had travelled from North Rhine-Westphalia to Spain. A. is said to have tried to escape. But then five bullets hit the man, four in the head and one in the body.

The background for the brutal murder attack is said to have been a dispute with a Latin American drug cartel, as “Bild” also reports. Accordingly, Ilmettin A. was considered the head of a drug gang under the name “Tekin Kartal”, which is said to be responsible for 90 percent of heroin deliveries to Great Britain.

The cartel from Honduras or El Salvador is said to have ordered A. to Barcelona because of failed drug deals worth millions. A. traveled there to clarify: The death sentence for the German-Turk.

The drug boss became infamously known in Türkiye in 2021. A. is said to have been involved in a shooting in Istanbul. At that time, a jeweler died while protecting his daughter. A. then fled to Germany and is said to have been in Düsseldorf ever since.
