On Said Day, It Was Moved By Board Member , Seconded By Board Member And Carried Tha: Fill & Download for Free

This dates back to February 2014.I got in a cab from SIES College Sion (where I take guest lectures) to BKC (financial hub of Mumbai). The distance in peak hours in the morning takes around an hour. It was around 8.45AM and I had a meeting schedule at 10 AM. The taxi was parked at some distance while the driver was having his Tea. He requested me if I could wait till he finished his tea.He was in a white uniform with a driver batch on his shirt pocket. He seemed to be around 50 yrs old and well maintained with clean uniform and hair and beard in perfect shape. He finished his tea and waved at me. I was standing under the shade of a tree. As soon as I approached the taxi, he folded his hand and apologized for making me wait. This is honestly quite odd since in Mumbai the passengers need to humbly request and apologize to taxi drivers! I was over whelmed!I said, " Uncleji its ok, aap mafi kyu maang rahe hai!" (Its ok Uncle, why are you apologizing) He smiled and asked me to sit. It was a very old FIAT taxi in embarrassing shape. The door could not be opened from outside. The door had to be pulled from inside to close the door. While I was seated, I saw a large plastic bag containing some doctors file, CT Scan reports and a prescription card. The bad had a name of the patient "Sardarni Amrit Kaur- Age 65 Yrs"I told the driver that some one has missed these reports in the taxi. I asked him where did he come from and who occupied the taxi before me. He said that he picked up an aged women from Chembur (another suburb not too far from Sion) and dropped her in the adjoin lane. I asked him if he dropped her at her house because these reports seemed urgent and have to be given back to her. He said that he just dropped off her on the main road and pointed the spot to me. I had the prescription of the radiologist who did the CT Scan and called up the clinic in Chembur. The receptionist picked up the phone and I narrated the entire incidence to her. Surprisingly she had the address of the lady since the scan was conduced recently. I asked to her hand over the address to me. By then I had asked the taxi driver his name. He introduced himself at Jagtap Kaul. I asked him to carry on with another passenger and I would hand over the reports myself since the address was close by.He refused. He said it was his moral responsibility to hand over the left over possession to the lady. I felt glad and both of us went in the lane to search over the address. The house was the second one in the lane. I rang the bell and incidentally the lady who opened the door was instantaneously recognized by Jagtapji and he said," Behenji, aap ye file bhool gaye (sister, you forgot this file). As soon as the lady looked at the file, she folded her hand and thanked the driver to return the same to her on time. She said she had an appointment with the doctor at 11am that same day. She offered him some money which he refused and later told her that its all because of me that we got the address. The lady thanked me endlessly and asked me if I would want to come in an have tea. I politely refused, wished her a speedy recovery and left.While on the way I interacted with Jagtapji, I got to know that he is a kashmiri pandit and shifted to Mumbai around 1980s. He said that he belonged to Srinagar and his house was burned and looted in front of his eyes by the militants there who wanted them to vacate Srinagar. He then sold off the property worth around 75 lacs to a Muslim neighbor for a few thousand rs since he feared his life and wanted to move away. He boarded a train from Jammu to Mumbai and stayed at Chembur (A suburb which has majority Punjabi immigrants). To support his family needs he started driving a taxi. The taxi which I was sitting in was purchased by him then with the money he received on selling of his house. He had an ailing wife who was down with acute arthritis, a son who was around 30, his son's wife and a grand daughter who was just 4 months old.I asked him if he as a family in here why does he have to work so hard and not be by his wife's side. He said he is the only earning member in the house! I was zapped! I asked him what does his son do, he said, "Jail mein hai wo! Dusari aurat karke baitha tha fir usne rape ka case laga diya" (my son is in jail, he had a mistress who slapped him with a rape case). I asked him what about his wife then, he said all of us have disowned him and his wife is now my daughter!I had tears in my eyes after hearing this. He felt so calm and so composed while he told me all these things. I felt like touching his feet that day. The world is still full of nicest people around. The taxi meter was 244, I handed him over a 1000 Rs note. Told him to buy some toys and clothes for his grand daughter. With a smiling face told me ," aapka dil bahut bada hai beta par jab tak mein hoon meri beti aur poti ka khayal rakh loonga. rab sab theek karega"( you have a big heart son, however till I am around, all the needs of my daughter and my grandchild would be taken care of). He handed me over the change, shook hands with me and went away!Jagtapji stays in my heart for ever. Such humanity is rare to be seen today!

There were (and probably still are) organized German crime groups from the 1960s to the 1980s. Nothing as tight and lasting as the Italian Mafia though.When the leadership died, went to jail, or retired the rest of the organization either collapsed or was absorbed by other groups.They even had a Godfather.His name was Wilfried “Frieda” Schulz (1929–1992). The Godfather of St. Pauli. A district in the city of Hamburg. The Reeperbahn is located there. He got his nickname “Frida”, which is feminine, due to his vanity about his looks. Like a woman you know? He didn’t like it at all and it was therefore only used behind his back and from a safe distance.With his wide shoulders, square jaw, and striped suits he also looked the part of a gangster boss.Here he is with actor Horst Frank.Schulz grew up in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli, where his parents ran a pub. He finished school with the Mittlere Reife and worked as a crate tug in the port of Hamburg. Schulz later worked his way up in Hamburg's entertainment district, becoming a waiter, bouncer, and leaseholder in the hospitality industry, and then the owner of nightclubs.In the second half of the 1960s, he forcibly drove away Austrian pimps lead by Arnold “The Bear of Vienna” Sellner who wanted to expand into the Hanseatic city.In the "Hotel Austria" on the Talstraße, Schulz and his cronies attacked the Austrian competitor, stabbing him with a knife and turning it slowly around in the wound. According to legend, they stabbed him in the ass. Then they took the injured "Bear" first to his compatriots, ordering them to: "Leave the city!” and then to the hospital where they dumped him in some bushes near the entrance, notifying the hospital from a payphone.When the case was brought before a judge, Sellner allegedly claimed that he fell into a knife. “7 times?” the judge is said to have asked.The deterrent example worked. There would never again be any serious attempt to touch Frieda's power. Thus Schulz became "the undisputed number one in Hamburg's red-light district.In the late 1970s, he withdrew to a large extent from the businesses in the St. Pauli district and ran the dance club "Café Cherie" on the Steindamm in Hamburg-St. Georg. Which of course was a brothel.With the rise of AIDS, criminals started selling drugs to compensate for the loss of income from prostitution, and that was something he didn’t want any part of allegedly.He lived in a villa in the district Blankenese.In the 1980s he did time for tax evasion. He died in his villa in Blankenese in 1992 from prostate cancer.It was claimed but never proven, that Schulz also had built an underworld court system.Complete with prosecution, defense, and judge. Schulz likely filling that last role himself. Through this, he ruled the Hamburg underworld. Back then, weapons were the exception in Hamburg.When two pimps got into an argument they would duke it out. Any fool can shoot a gun.There were also rules concerning a prostitute leaving her pimp for another pimp. Pimp A was entitled to compensation from pimp B for loss of income. And probably more rules for a host of other things as well.When a pimp violated one of these rules, he could be banned from the “Kiez”. Meaning the amusement district. This ban would mean loss of income and loss of status among the other crime figures. It was basically the end of his criminal career.Now if somebody was stupid enough to bring a gun, it could end a whole lot worse for that person. Executions/gangland murders were a rarity, but they did happen.In 1984 Der Spiegel published an article about Schulz’s trial. In it, they mentioned Hans Zühlsdorf the former commander of the vice division. He was supposedly Schulz his man inside the police force. They also mentioned how four underworld informants died under suspicious circumstances.One of them Helmut Ohlerich.He owned a few bars on St. Pauli and died from smoke inhalation when one of the bars burned down.Schulz was believed to have learned of him being a snitch and ordered his death.However, in 2014 it was revealed that before Ohlerich became a police informant, he worked for the East-German STASI. Gathering information on Hamburg police.So it’s also possible that the STASI had him killed for dumping them and knowing too much.Or maybe it was just an accident.The case remains unsolved to this day.The GMBHIn the 1970s a new group formed now that Schulz started to withdraw.They were known as the GMBH. Those were the initials of their first name. GmbH (Gemeinschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) is also a business structure in Germany akin to a Limited Liability Company or LLC. They probably thought it was clever.Gerd GlissmannA former postal worker and a Karate black belt. He might even still be alive. Although no one seems to know for certain or where he might live. But it is said that he worked as a facility manager in Winterhude in the 1990s. He handled the group's finances.Michael Luchting. “Pretty Mischa”He was a ladies' man. So he was in charge of ‘acquisition’. Meaning seducing new women and putting them to work in their brothels and taking care of their needs. This is also known as “Poussieren”.While on vacation in Gran Canaria he was arrested and spend a few months in a Spanish cell. When he came back to Hamburg, his 3 partners had plundered his wealth and kicked him out of the club. A short while later he hung himself. Although there were rumors he eerm…had a little ’help’ with that, that was never proven. And the case remains officially a suicide. He was 34 at the time.Walter „Beatle“ VogelerHe was the boss. In 2010 he worked as a cab driver. He died in 2011 at age 69. Not much more is known about him.Harry VoerthmannHe was nicknamed “The centenarian”. Because he liked to talk about how many times he had already been arrested and how long he had been incarcerated.He died impoverished in 2016 in a care facility.Together they controlled some 120 pimps (who are called Luden in Hamburg) with 200–400 prostitutes at their peak working for them.They made some 200.000 D-Mark a month. Each.With Schulz retiring, they became the new kings of the Kiez.In the late 1970s and 1980s new groups formed to challenge their dominance. The best known is the Nutella gang.This was a mock name given to them by the members of the GMBH. They were all 20-somethings. And the Old Guard mocked them as little kids who had Nutella for breakfast. They thought it was funny, so they ran with it.Now I’m not exactly sure how many members they had or what all their names were. So I’ll just write about those who have shown up in magazines and TV documentaries over the years.Peter TöpferA former sailor and mechanic and a founding member of the Nutella gang. I couldn’t find much about him other than that he at one point had found God and left the lifestyle behind.This is a picture of him from 2014.Romanian born Stefan MitroiI don’t know much about him either. But I found a picture from 2015.Klaus Barkowsky “Pretty Klaus” also nicknamed “Lamborghini Klaus” because he had a thing for sports cars. Especially Lamborghinis.A few pics from his heydays.With musician Nina HagenThis is him in 20182019Officially he’s now an independent artist. Self-taught. But these were taken in the Elbschloss Keller bar. A very cheap 24/7 bar. So I guess his art isn’t selling too well.Back in the day, he had 15 girls working for him at the same time.He’s still alive and active on Facebook and Instagram.On February 4 of this year (2021) he posted a screenshot from the Hamburger Abendblatt announcing that Amazon was going to shoot a series about the “Kiez” of the 70s and 80s called “Luden”. (North German slang for pimps. Lude = singular. Luden = plural). This series will focus on his rise in the red light underworld in the 1970s. It is slated to premiere sometime next year. (2022) This won’t be another documentary and the first season will have 6 episodes. Should be interesting.Thomas „Karate-Tommy“ BornAs the name says he was into Karate. And he was good at it. Had his own gym.Front and center.Red suitRedshirt, lifting weights at his gym in 1978.Within the gang, his responsibility was the “stress” department. Meaning he would beat the crap out of anyone if that was needed. So he was the muscle. He would later also dabble in acting and was in a few documentaries about the “Kiez” and its 70s and 80s gangs. He died from a heart attack in 2015.He was also involved in the first shooting on St. Pauli.On October 22 1982 in the Salon Bel Ami.That shooting left 2 pimps dead.First “Angie” BeckerAnd second Klaus Breitenreicher. A former Bundeswehr combat frogmanOne of Angie Becker’s prostitutes had gotten into a fight with another prostitute that worked for another gang. Becker’s girl came home with a black eye. Becker demanded compensation from the other group. They just laughed at him.So Becker called “Karate Tommy”. They went with a group of about 30 guys. When they arrived, Tommy asked how many guys were up there. He was told 7 by Becker. So Tommy decided to let the others stay outside while he, Becker, and Breitenreicher would go up and take care of things.Tommy still believed in the old “no guns” codex. He figured between the three of them they had all the muscle they needed. The other group probably agreed with his assessment. Since three of them were armed. Before anyone could say a word they opened fire killing Becker and Breitenreicher instantly. Born was able to turn sideways so one bullet only grazed him in the stomach area. While the shooters were still reloading he ran for the door. This door however could only be opened by a buzzer from the outside. The idea was that this way clients couldn’t take off before paying their bill. According to Born one of the gunmen had forgotten to take the safety off after reloading or maybe his gun jammed. This gave Born enough time to ram the door with his 116 kg frame and making his escape.Three days later the three gunmen:Karl-Heinz GebauerSieghart Schmidtand Wolfgang Pohndorfturned themselves in. (image source: Organisiertes Verbrechen Stockfoto's en -beelden)They claimed they had acted in self-defense, and were later acquitted. According to Born in his last interview before his death, this was the moment that all the other pimps thought to themselves “If I slap someone around a little, I get 6 months on parole. If I shoot someone I am let go. Let’s get some weapons.”According to Stefan Hentschel, the shooters were his partners. So they were likely not affiliated with any of the larger gangs.The third large group was the Chikago gang. Named after the Chikago ice cafe which also served as their headquarters near the Hans-Albers-Platz.Some of their members:Josef Peter “Viennese Peter” NusserLike his name suggests he’s from Austria. But from Kärnthen rather than Vienna.In 1972 he came to Hamburg by way of W-Berlin as a nobody. A former waiter.He wasn’t very muscular or strong like most of the other pimps. But he was smart. And hungry for money and power. And absolutely ruthless. Willing to do anything to obtain both. He’s also the man credited with the first murder for hire on St. Pauli destroying the old “no guns” codex in the process.He and his partner Fritz Schroer ran a floor in the mega brothel Eros Center.Now, these were the early 1980s. AIDS had hit the sex industry like a sledgehammer. And like I said earlier many underworld figures had started to ‘diversify’ their income streams since AIDS scared off many clients.Until then cocaine had been a drug mostly limited to the upper crust. Now many of the St. Pauli pimps started selling it, and some became their own best customer. Fritz Schroer was one of those.According to a former police investigator, Waldemar Paulsen, Schroer was a nasty guy. Constantly high strung from his massive drug use. He became less and less reliable. One day Schroer decided he wanted to pull his money and women out of his partnership with Nusser. Nusser didn’t like that one bit. So on September 28, 1981, he called Schroer to a meeting at the bar Zur Ritze.After a short talk, Nusser got up from his barstool. This was probably the signal for the hitman. Cause at the same moment a man opened fire at Schroer, shooting him from the barstool with 3 slugs to the chest. Schroer was immediately dead and the gunman managed to escape in the confusion. He was never caught and nobody was able to prove that Nusser had ordered the hit. But everyone from the police to the other pimps and the prostitutes has always insisted that no one else could have done it. Because Nusser was the only one who profited from Schroer’s death. “Inheriting” his women and thus his income. On the streets, people would whisper “You don’t part ways with the Vienesse, you are parted from him.”FUN FACT: In 1981 Nusser played a short role in Vadim Glowna’s film “Desperado City”. Where he plays the pimp Ekke. Even has some lines.Nusser would later also become the main benefactor of the St. Pauli killer Werner “Mucki” Pinzner.Werner Pinzner was a former sailor. He wanted to join the Bundeswehr but was refused due to his criminal record.He worked as a handyman and butcher. In 1975 he took part in an armed robbery of a supermarket during which the manager of the store was shot and killed. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.He would serve 9 years in the Fuhlsbüttel prison before being moved to Vierlande where he would serve the remainder of his sentence in an open prison.Meaning he could leave the prison during the day but had to report back in the evening. This is believed to help to better socialize prisoners with a lengthy sentence to the outside world. During this time Hamburg had a very left-wing government. Their prison policy even gave prisoners the right to a private lockbox to store personal items that would not be checked by the prison authorities. Pinzner would make good use of that later.While in prison he met several people with contacts in the underworld. Through them, he was recruited to take part in a money transporter heist in June 1984 as a day parolee. They got him an Arminius .38 Special revolver.Which he of course stored in his lockbox.A month later he was hired for his first hit.Jehuda Arzi was a former brothel owner and a gambling addict.He had many debts he couldn’t pay. So he tried blackmailing his ex-wife and daughter. The ex also used to manage a brothel and thus probably also worked as a prostitute herself before that. Both were part of the Frankfurt upper crust. The kind of people who would have turned up their noses if her past would come out. The wife made a few phone calls to some underworld figures. One of them finally called “Viennese Peter”. And he hired Pinzner and another day parolee prisoner named Armin Hockauf to pay Arzi a visit in Kiel.Hockauf on our right during a vacation in Ibiza.The original plan was to beat him up and cut off a finger so he would stop his blackmail attempts. But Pinzner said, and he repeated this statement later in a police interview after he was arrested, that he can’t torture people. If he goes up there he will blow his head off. And he did.He and his partner even made it back in time for their curfew. Stowing his revolver in his lockbox.The next victim was “Bayern Peter” PfeilmaierHe was also the one who had set up the earlier mentioned heist and got Pinzner his revolver.By the time Pinzner was released from prison Pfeilmaier had become addicted to cocaine. He was paranoid. Barely ever showed his face on the “Kiez” anymore and when he did he would sometimes even pick fights with clients. In other words, he had become bad for business.So Pinzner and Hockauf were hired again. They lured Pfeilmaier with the promise of a lucrative coke deal and Pinzner guided him to a quiet parking garage. While Hockauf distracted him from the passenger seat with questions about his Pontiac Firebird, Pinzner shot him in the back of the head.Next was Dietmar Traub AKA “Lackschuh Dieter”. Cause he was crazy about shoes.White suit at the funeral for Michael LuchtingA hairdresser by trade and a Karate blackbelt. The story is pretty much the same as with Pfeilmaier. He had a big coke habit and had become bad for business. Also, he wanted his partners to buy him out for 100.000 DM. And he made drug deals on his own without including his partners. So he had to go.Hockauf and Pinzner used the same trick they had used on Pfeilmaier. They offered him a lucrative coke deal and Traub enthusiastically agreed. They lured him into the Riemerlinger Forst near Munich where Pinzner executed him.Next on the list was Waldemar Dammer. The son of a German mother and a US occupation soldier.Another of the old school tough guys with more muscles than brains. He was a competitor of Nusser.Shortly before Easter 1985 he and a friend of his Stefan Hentschel and a third thug beat Nusser up in Nusser’s Brothel „Palais d’Amour“ humiliating him in public in front of the prostitutes.That of course was his death warrant. It really wasn’t smart of him. By then Nusser already had the reputation that if you fuck with him you might catch a case of lead poisoning. Pinzner would later tell in one of his police interviews how Nusser braggingly introduced him as ‘his’ killer during a vacation in Ibiza.Pinzner was told that Dammer planned a meeting with Hentschel and that third thug at his house on Easter.Pinzner later told the police that Dammer and his crew were also rumored to be behind a group of dealers who suddenly could offer cocaine for much cheaper prices. This was something Reinhard “Ringo” Klemm didn’t like. Cause he and the Chikago Gang were the ones controlling the coke trade at that time.Pinzner and an accomplice, Siegfried “Siggi” Träger, went over there and rang the doorbell. They knew each other so they were let in. But Hentschel and that third guy were not there. Just Dammer and one of his associates Ralf Kühne. AKA Corvette Ralf.Pinzner and Träger sat down in Dammer’s office waiting for the other two to arrive. They didn’t come. Pinzner was already contemplating leaving and wait for a better chance to get all three in one fell swoop when Dammer and Träger got into an argument. Dammer started to get up from his chair and was gunned down first. Kühne was then murdered to leave no witnesses. Forensics would later prove that Pinzner wasn’t responsible for these two killings but his accomplice. Even though he would take credit for it nonetheless.Stefan Hentschel meanwhile fled to Ibiza to hide out and later to Jamaica and Brazil.This last hit was also a turning point. For decades the Hamburg police and political elite had denied the existence of organized crime in the city-state. That was something that happened in the USA or Italy. Not here.But with increasingly violent confrontations between rival groups, they had finally pulled their heads from their ass. A department for OK (Organisierte Kriminalität/Organized Crime) had been founded and would now move to arrest Pinzner and several other leading underworld figures. Ironically they saved Pinzner’s life by taking him in.Cause Pinzner had fallen into the same trap as most of his marks. Lot’s of drugs and loose lips. Especially that last one. He was flexing all over town with that last hit. Now his employers wanted him gone too. The plan was to bash his head in and put his corpse into a meatgrinder and give it to some dogs as a treat.But the justice apparatus still hadn’t crossed all their Ts sort of speak as they would learn soon enough.Now Pinzner was in custody and they hoped they could flip him as the main witness against his former employers. But Pinzner had other plans. He dreamt of an Exitus Triumphalis. A big exit!So he told them a lot. But he also stretched it out until everything was in place. His lawyer meanwhile acted as a go-between, for messages between Pinzner and his wife and also organized the later murder weapon. She also supplied Pinzner with coke and heroin in his cell. She also helped his wife Jutta to prepare for the big finale.Jutta PinznerThe big finale consisted of his wife smuggling a gun into the prison with his lawyers' help. Both women would have the same purse. So the lawyer smuggled the gun and ammunition in her purse. Cause as his lawyer she wasn’t allowed to be searched. And they didn’t have a metal detector. It was on order but had not been delivered yet.This is the best picture of his lawyer I could find from an old Hamburger Morgenpost article that was sold on eBay. At least I think it’s her. If somebody can enhance the image please do so.His wife would then later excuse herself and go to the bathroom taking the lawyers’ purse with her. When she came back she would have the gun in her slip rolled up in a towel.Reconstruction pictureJuly 29 1986 was the big day.Pinzner had told DA Wolfgang Bistry that he would tell him everything today.Everything had gone according to plan. The gun was in tha house! So were his wife Jutta and the DA.After his wife returned from her bathroom break, Wolfgang Bistry wanted to resume the interview and reportedly told Pinzner “Alright. Go ahead and shoot.”And Pinzner did. First Bistry. Then his wife. And finally himself.Pinzner and JuttaThe murder weapon. A Smith & Wesson 38 caliber revolver.Wolfgang Bistry was grievously wounded and flown to the hospital where he would die the next day.Minute taker Gitta Berger was in the room when it all happened and survived. Pinzner didn’t kill her because he wanted a witness.Josef Peter “Viennese Peter” Nusser was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. He was released in 2001 after serving 15 years and deported to Austria.Last thing I heard he was living in Ibiza in 2009 where he supposedly was developing apps for smartphones.Last known picture of him.His lawyer, Isolde Oechsle-Misfeld (probably not her real name), was sentenced to 6.5 years in jail for her part in the drama. Yet she did not lose her license and could continue practicing law after her release.The other possibility.Now, it was speculated but never proven, that Reinhard Klemm was behind Pinzer shooting Bistry. Some believed that Pinzner had no reason to kill Bistry.After his arrest, Pinzner had learned about the ‘severance package’ his former employers had prepared for him.So helping the authorities to take them down would have been sweet revenge.The investigators in Hamburg had noticed how every time they left the station they immediately had a shadow following them.“The observed observing the observers.” as one detective put it.Klemm was suspected to have an inside man in the Hannover detective division. A detective named Heinz Müller. He was investigated, but I don’t know what came of it.Bistry planned to take all the big players off the board. So, killing Bistry definitely was in Klemm’s interest. According to the theory, Pinzner’s lawyer acted as a messenger.Pinzner had a daughter, Birgit. She was 14 years old at the time. Through his lawyer, Klemm made Pinzner an offer. Klemm would pay his daughter a lifelong stipend of 1500 D-Mark per month if Pinzner killed Wolfgang Bistry. Whatever else Pinzner was, he did love his daughter. In his own way. She was also his last phone call just before he killed himself. So sweet of him….Considering how Klemm had to flee the country after the shooting it’s safe to assume Birgit never even got the first payment. Assuming Klemm was planning on keeping his word, to begin with.Birgit Pinzer died of an overdose in 2003 aged 32.Like I said. It’s an unproven theory.Pinzner himself claimed to have carried out 11 murders for hire. Three years after his death 5 were considered proven. Those included his wife Jutta and Wolfgang Bistry.Another prominent member of the Chikago gang was the already mentioned Reinhard “Ringo” Klemm.Klemm in the front with I think “Dakota” Uwe. Not sure though.Klemm on the right. With Mario Amtmann, vice-president of the Hells Angels Hamburg chapter in 1991Klemm while living in Costa RicaKlemm was born in Saxony in 1946, with his height of 1.67 meters, he was physically inferior to most pimps in terms of strength, mass, and charisma and yet he was called the "godfather of Hans-Albers-Platz". He was considered to be the boss of the Chikago gang.He came to Hamburg during the late 1960s and first worked as a sailor and fisherman.In the 1970s, together with "Stutter-Harry", "Dakota-Uwe" (Uwe Carstens, the right-hand man of former red-light godfather Wilfried "Frieda" Schulz) and "Tobacco-Ilja", Klemm is said to have killed the Italian gangster Sergio di Cola in the Friedrichstraße after he had poached several girls from them. A crime, which could never be proven. In 1986 Klemm became a suspect in the contract killing investigation against "Mucki" Pinzner. He was accused by the Da’s office of incitement to murder. On December 11, 1986, a hundred men stormed the "Chikago". Klemm fled across the roofs and made a spectacular escape to Costa Rica.The Central American country had already become a retreat for German pimps for some time. One of them was Günter Stumme, the owner of the "Sudfass" brothels in Hamburg and Lübeck, who later also belonged to the inner circle around "Ringo" Klemm. He also fled Germany for some reason. The Facebook page where I found this picture said he eventually overdosed. Stumme was believed to have had contacts with the Medellin Cartel and to have organized a bodyguard for Carlos Lehder.Günter Stumme on the right at the bar Zur RitzeIn Costa Rica, Klemm lived in a house owned by his good friend Hans Joachim Kleine. Better known as Hanne Kleine. The proprietor of the bar Zur Ritze.A former boxer and ex-pimp.Even though Hanne was never arrested to my knowledge, he sure knew a lot of shady characters. But he also knew a lot of celebrities.Here a picture of Hanne on the left, in South America with British train robber Ronnie Biggs. Screenshot’s from an old documentary I found on YouTube. 240p. Hence the poor quality.With actors Ben Becker (hat and glasses), Jan Fedder, in the background, and brothel owner/social media personality Marcus Prinz von Anhalt on the right.Even the Klitschko brothers had at one point used his basement gym to prepare before a fight.In Costa Rica, Klemm made several investments in real estate, a banana plantation, expanded his drug business, and operated a chain of brothels with his partners, which BKA investigators called "Schweinefarm" (pig farm). Klemm was finally arrested in the La Favorita district in San Jose where he lived under the false name of Helmut Erich Honold. He was eventually extradited and brought before a court in Hamburg.After a short prison sentence, he reopened the "Chikago" and had his photo taken in the scene bar with celebrities such as Nina Hagen, Udo Lindenberg, both musicians. Or Jörg Immendorff an artist, art professor, and the owner of the nearby La Paloma bar.In the following years, Klemm repeatedly attracted attention through criminal offenses and after his last prison sentence, he emigrated to the Spanish island of Ibiza, where he also opened and operated a club restaurant.The jazz singer and composer Hendrik Schwolow dedicated the song Bös', Bös', Ringo Klemm to Ringo Klemm, which he presented in Hamburg's Cotton Club jazz club.Reinhard Klemm now lives somewhere on the Baltic coast as a pensioner.Another member was Hans-Joachim “Joe” Marx. Although I think his name is really spelled “Marks”I couldn’t find a biography for him. Despite him being a pretty big name in the Chikago gang at the time. But he was sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2009 for drug trafficking. The Hamburger Morgenpost gave his age as 54 at that time. So I guess he was born 1955–1956.Like most crime figures of that time, he started out as a pimp. Before that he was a circus hand. But he eventually figured out that drugs were the real money maker. So that became his main business with connections to the Colombian Cali cartel. The below picture was taken in 1992 with his Colombian bride in Cali. Her name is supposedly Maria and it was said her father was a Cali boss. Don’t know if that’s true or not.Here we see him in the middle getting his balls fondled by Pinzner accomplice Armin Hockauf on his right and an unknown guy.He was released from jail in 1991 after serving a 7-year sentence for pimping and drug dealing. Considering how he was a free man at the time of the above-mentioned Pinzner shootings in 1986, I think he didn’t serve the full 7 years.In 1998 he was arrested again and sentenced to 10 years for the attempted smuggling of 105-kilogram of Colombian cocaine. He was given 10 years and 6 months. During his stint in jail, the female assistant manager fell in love with him and they had an affair.He was released in 2005. Again only serving a partial sentence. In 2007 he was arrested again when he and two accomplices tried to smuggle 2.5 kilograms of pure cocaine to Hamburg from South America. Allegedly this was the third trip of the trio.In 2009 he got 9 years with preventive detention afterward. So he’s likely still in prison.These were the three main gangs on St. Pauli at the time. But there were also smaller groups. Who didn’t belong to any of the larger factions and stayed independent.The most prominent was Stefan Hentschel * September 30, 1948, in Chemnitz-Gablenz; † December 18, 2006, in Hamburg.Whom I’ve already mentioned above.The early 2000sHentschel on the left with boxer Alex Zeh in 1983Hentschel, center with sunglasses, at the funeral for the above, mentioned Michael LuchtingHentschel rightHentschel lived with his grandparents until he was nine and then moved to Hamburg.On September 21, 1973, he fought his first and only professional boxing match in the Ernst-Merck-Halle. This fight was organized by Wilfried Schulz whose protege he was. During this fight, he was knocked out by Erwin Josefa ("Big Ali") in the second round. This ended Hentschel’s "professional boxing career" in less than six minutes. The Hamburger Abendblatt reported on Hentschel's fight as follows: "The first chapter in the boxing program was a sad one for overzealous managers and for the female fans who admired the body-builder Stefan Hentschel when he took off his bathrobe: Stefan Hentschel, the boxer who had never fought a real boxing match before, who was presented to the audience as a knockout king, experienced a humiliation that no one would wish upon him. (...) In the second round, the muscles of the beautiful Stefan were on the floor for the second time. With the 'out' against the second class Josefa (Curacao) came the disillusionment.In the 1980s, Hentschel and his friend Waldemar Dammer were considered red light godfathers in the St. Pauli neighborhood. He was involved in the gang war and survived several assassination attempts; he lost his right eye in an attack with a beer glass. Hentschel was present in the media, through his collaboration on the NDR documentary Hamburg-St. Pauli - “Wo die Kontraste knallen” for example, or through the publication of Hamburgs Nachtjargon. Die Sprache auf dem Kiez in St. Pauli by linguist Klaus Siewert.Hentschel gained international fame through his appearance in a scene from the documentary film Der Boxprinz by Gerd Kroske about the life of the boxer Norbert Grupe, who called himself "Prince of Homburg". While Hentschel strolls along the Große Freiheit, a side street of the Reeperbahn on St. Pauli, and, at the reporter's request, tells about his beginnings in the red-light milieu ("Yes, back then we started with four women on the day shift..."), the filming is suddenly interrupted by a young man who steps in front of the camera of his own accord and addresses the camera team. Hentschel asks the young man to move on ("You’ve got a problem?! Beat it!"), and then slaps him - since the young man does not react to the request, but only stares at him in amazement. Shortly thereafter he recommends the slapped man to leave ("You’ve got another problem? Better not!"). Hentschel then tells the film crew to continue ("Come on, let's go!"), since he "doesn't feel like" "talking to the assholes". A few moments later Hentschel greets a "good friend" ("Hallo Werner!"). This scene has achieved cult status on the Internet.This is the scene.On December 18, 2006, Hentschel hung himself in the boxing cellar of the "Zur Ritze" bar on the Reeperbahn. The last weeks before his suicide he was depressed and expressed his "thoughts of leaving" to friends. In addition, there was speculation in the press about massive money and drug problems as a reason for the suicide. Hentschel's urn was buried in his parents' grave at the Ohlsdorf Cemetery.Another big criminal from Hamburg was Ronald “Blacky” Miehling. Also known as the “Schneekönig” (Snow King). Because he was one of Germany’s biggest if not the biggest coke dealer of his time in the 1990s.Miehlingh as a youthSomewhere in the 1990s, I guess. Seeing how there doesn’t seem to be any furniture this might be a pic from when he was hiding out in Columbia or Venezuela.In the middle with singer Udo Lindenberg on the left and the above already mentioned Thomas “Karate Thommy” Born on the right, the early 1990s, maybe?20022012ishHe was born in Hamburg in 1950 as the son of a police officer.He was first sentenced to jail in 1968 at the age of 18 for robbery. According to Miehling himself, he chose a life of crime willingly because he wanted to have an adventure.In 1978 he was sentenced to 10 years in jail after he and an accomplice had killed a meat wholesaler in the municipality of Jesteburg during a home invasion. The man allegedly owed money to Wilfried Schulz which they were trying to collect.After his release, he became a full-time drug dealer organizing large shipments from South America to Europe.In a documentary about his life from 2013, he also tells how he helped the Cali Cartel to gather information after a ton of cocaine went missing in Poland. The Cali Cartel did the rest.In 1992 he fled to Columbia and in 1994 to Venezuela. After he was extradited to Germany he was sentenced to 12 and half years. He was released early in 2003. In 2005 he was arrested once again for dealing cocaine and was sentenced to 7 years and 9 months plus the remainder of his previous sentence.He was released in 2014 and so far he has kept his nose clean. Pun intended.So, was there a German ‘mafia’? Yeah. In the way that there are organized crime groups anywhere where there is money to be made.

Source: Bollywood movies mistakes, bloopers, goofsHum Dil De Chuke Sanam mistake: What could be a monumental mistake in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, where the country that Aishwarya Rai goes to, is mentioned as Italy, whereas the place is actually Hungary in reality. The scenes that are shown in the film are famous Szechenyi Chain Bridge above the Danube, which is Hungary and not Italy as stated in the film.Raajneeti mistake: Many murders are happening in broad-daylight in the movie, there are clear suspects, in spite of that people are moving freely There is no inquiry and no fear. On the day when election results are announced, Ranbir and gang lay a trap for Ajay Devgan, they are firing at him as if they are trained criminals from birth. First of all, no one indulges in such type of killing, when the election season is going on and the media and the machinery is on high alert.Heyy Babyy goof-up: The movie itself wouldn't have been made, if a simple DNA test confirmed who was the father of the baby.3 Idiots mistake: During the childbirth scene, Pia (Kareena Kapoor) shows a YouTube video during the video chat. That scene is supposed to have happened 6 years ago, when there was no YouTube.Kites movie mistake: Jai pulls the Green card scam by asking each woman for 1000 USD. 1000 USD? For a Green Card? Do the film writers know how coveted the GC is? And how many illegal immigrants in US would kill to get it? And its available for 1000 USD? Which anyone can earn working illegally in the US for 15 days?Dhoom 2 movie mistake: Our extra fingered Greek god Hrithik Roshan has to steal the diamonds in a highly secured and guarded museum. We see that he is painting himself white. Alright. Now tell me how does he occupy the place next to some of those white-clay (PoP) mannequins with his device? There is more to it. He operates a tiny robot, creates a visual illusion of the diamond and steals the diamond. The very next shot he is shown as an old rag-picker (or garbage collector) outside the building. Only God could have come out of the assumed clay mannequin position without being noticed by the dozens of the guards. I know you started laughing, but the fun doesn't ends here. To escape from Abhishek, he jumps into a man-hole and in less than 3 seconds, a young, muscular guy comes out of nowhere with a great looking dress (black?) on a roller skates. Again, only God could have changed the makeup, tied skates and jump out of nowhere at high speed.Don-The Chase Begins mistake: Shahrukh tells Kareena that there is no bullet in his gun, but this is something that the police does not know. When the police arrives, SRK gags Kareena and threatens to kill her (there is no bullet in the gun). In the next scene, we see Kareena Kapoor shot dead by SRK.

How come they know the song? Anyway by the end the band is formed and since Ajay sang first, he is the leader of the band. Next comes the audition process, a rank newbie Asin says, “What should I do?’ Ranvijay says, “Just go with the flow” Asin dances and grooves along with the group and they manages to impress the judges!Karthik Calling Karthik mistake: In Karthik Calling Karthik, Deepika Padukone’s character is not well defined.

She definitely could have hazarded a guess that it is not her Karthik.Rann mistake: Mohnish Bhel’s character is that of conniving person. Why does he tell all the inside stuff of how a conspiracy was carried out to an amateur rookie of a reporter Ritesh Deshmukh?!Kurbaan mistake: How come the FBI officer who is so near to the bomber does not die when he explodes right in front of him?

The channel never existed at that time; (c) Cell phone -Amitabh Bachchan is shown using a Nokia 9000 Communicator in 1991, whereas Nokia launched the same commercially in 1996; (d) Amitabh Bachchan sings "Aati kya khandala" song from Gulaam.

He was doing the degree for someone else, he had to have at least told the college admission office his address, which was set in Simla. And his friends later said they have been looking for him for past 10 years. How can they look for him, without starting at his home address at Simla? They could have found him 10 years ago if they had tried seriously.Raajneeti mistake: Madhepura (the coveted constituency) is in Bihar.Blue error: Lara Dutta says, “Stop it, stop it, everything can be resolved by talking“ when there is cross-fire happening from all sides in the room?Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi mistake: Why doesn’t Anushka Sharma realize that Raj is Surinder; after all there is not much change in the voice.Kismet Konnection mistake: Almost everyone in the movie can speak in Hindi, the place is Canada by the way.Goal movie mistake: Towards the end of the game, John Abraham is shown to be hit on the nose, bleeding profusely.

How can both the occasions come between March and September?Awwal Number: Dev Anand is an omnipotent genius -- former cricketer, captain, army chief, commissioner, you name it. And Aamir Khan carries a huge transistor in his pocket while batting!Sarkar Raj goofup: In Sarkar Raj, Aishwarya creates buckets of tears when she sees Abhishek’s character dead in the hospital. This is the Shankar Nagre, whom she had met for just some days.

There are no mountains within 150 kms of Panipat. The scene was shot somewhere in the Deccan and passed off as Panipat!
