The younger brother of one of Berlin's most notorious Arab mafia bosses has been arrested in Denmark on suspicion of plotting to kidnap the children of a famous rapper.
German authorities are now seeking the extradition of 37-year-old Yasser Abou-Chaker, who is of Lebanese descent.
His elder brother and clan boss Arafat Abou-Chaker, 42, was arrested in Berlin last week.
Both suspects have been accused of plotting to abduct the children of German-Tunisian rapper and former business partner Bushido.
According to investigators, the brothers had been actively looking for people ready to carry out the kidnapping. This was apparently to be an act of revenge after Bushido cut ties with the Abou-Chakers in March last year.
Bushido is currently under police protection. Another rapper, Capital Bra who was signed to Bushido's label, this week angrily accused his boss of working "intensively" with the police and left the label.
The Abou-Chaker clan is among 10 Lebanese families involved in organized crime in Berlin and put under police surveillance.
