Here is the latest state of Necati Arabacı WHO IS NECATİ ARABACI? Necati Arabacı, one of the most controversial figures in the underworld, quickly expanded his criminal career, which he started in Germany in the 1990s, across Europe. Originally from Yeşildağ village in Beyşehir district of Konya, Arabacı began to play an active role in prostitution and drug trafficking through underground circles he met while working as a bar bouncer in the 1990s.
KNOWN WITH HELLS ANGELS, BECAME THE STRONGEST FIGURE IN COLOGNE During this period, Arabacı's name began to be associated with the Hells Angels organization. Through organization members and the bouncers around him, he quickly gained influence in Cologne's prostitution and drug market. It was determined that he was a partner in many establishments, including Babylon in Elsdorf, Cologne, Wiago in Leverkusen, and brothels in Mallorca.
Officially operating through a fruit and vegetable wholesale company, Arabacı used this company as a front to hide his illegal income. It was found that from 1999 onwards, he controlled the strongest pimp group in Cologne's red-light district, collected extortion from brothels, and his influence spread from the Ruhr area to Frankfurt.
ARREST AND PRISON YEARS Arabacı was arrested in 2002 by a team led by Chief Prosecutor Jürgen Botzem and was sentenced to nine years in prison on September 30, 2004, for establishing a criminal organization, robbery, prostitution, and human trafficking. While serving his sentence in Bochum Prison, his phone calls were monitored, and it was revealed that he hired a hitman to kill the prosecutor conducting the investigation. After completing one-third of his sentence in 2007, he was deported to Turkey. He was released on the condition that he would not return to Germany. Following these events, Prosecutor Botzem resigned due to psychological issues and lived abroad with his wife for a while for security reasons.
HELLS ANGELS TURKEY LEADERSHIP AND EUROPEAN INFLUENCE In 2010, Arabacı was appointed as the president of the Hells Angels MC Nomads Turkey group. By the end of 2013, it was claimed that he formed a ten-person unit in Westphalia and managed the organization in Europe through İzmir. Reports in the media suggested that Arabacı was "stronger than before" and had re-established the brothel network in Europe.
After the arrest of Frank Hanebuth in Hannover in November 2013, Arabacı's name came up for the leadership of Hells Angels Europe. Shortly after, it was determined that he frequently entered and exited Germany with a fake Bulgarian passport.
EUROPEAN CRIME NETWORK AND DRUG ALLEGATIONS According to Spanish sources, Arabacı expanded the brothel and prostitution network across Europe from mid-2013. He was also alleged to have amassed great wealth from heroin shipments coming from South America and laundered money through international banks. The German magazine Der Spiegel described him as the "regent in exile," stating that he started a civil war against rival branches in Germany through the Turkish branch of Hells Angels.
Since 2015, there has been a European arrest warrant against Arabacı. Despite being arrested in Turkey in June 2018, he was released the same year due to lack of evidence. Arabacı was detained again on July 28, 2020, but was released a few weeks later. He was arrested again in September 2023 as part of an ongoing investigation.
