remmo

Remmo is a surname of Middle Eastern origin that has entered public attention in Germany through reports about a large Palestinian-German family linked to organized crime in Berlin, commonly referred to in media as the Remmo clan. The family name is carried by multiple individuals, some of whom have been implicated in criminal investigations. Scholars and law enforcement describe the Remmo network as a multi-generational criminal organization operating in urban centers in Germany, with connections that are said to extend beyond national borders.

Activities attributed to the Remmo clan in public reporting include drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and firearms offenses; authorities have pursued several members with varying outcomes, including arrests and prosecutions. Media coverage has contributed to public discourse on the phenomenon of clan-based crime in Germany and its implications for urban crime control, integration policy, and policing approaches. The use of the term Remmo in references to the clan is largely within German-language coverage, though it has appeared in international reporting on organized crime in Germany.

The surname itself is not tied to a single formal organization but represents a family network that has figured prominently in news reporting on crime in recent decades. Beyond its associations with criminal activity, Remmo functions as a surname used by individuals in various contexts, including ordinary social, professional, and civic life.
