Overview
- The explosion occurred on the night of June 26 on a commercial site at Lagerstraße and left damaged vehicles, shattered windows and a crater in the asphalt while no one was hurt.
- Police, the public prosecutor and the Landeskriminalamt’s organised crime unit are investigating and have issued a public witness appeal with the tip line 040/4286-56789 for information.
- Local media published a video that shows a threatening phone call to box‑promoter Ismail Özen, who told reporters he receives such calls frequently and downplayed the incident.
- The blast happened on the grounds of the former slaughterhouse where several businesses and the Universum Gym operated, and published images show the site damage investigators are documenting.
- Authorities say the evidence is being checked for links to intimidation or organised crime but no suspects, motives or charges have been announced and further findings from the LKA are expected.
