Grandchild Scam: A Nightmare Haunting the Elderly in Europe.. What Do We Know So Far?
A coordinated international effort is underway to combat the 'Grandchild Scam' targeting the elderly in Europe. Originating from Poland, scammers impersonate grandchildren in distress to extract money from seniors. Recent operations led by German police, in collaboration with Europol and authorities from several European countries, have resulted in the arrest of 20 individuals and the prevention of 391 fraud attempts, saving victims nearly 5 million euros. The operations highlight the importance of cross-border cooperation in tackling organized crime, with significant contributions from security forces in Germany and Poland.

Nazi symbols and child pornography found in messages from German police
German prosecutors have discovered illegal content, including Nazi symbols, in chat messages involving five police officers from three different districts in North Rhine-Westphalia. The officers, aged between 22 and 25, are suspected of exchanging Nazi symbols and possessing child pornography during their training. The discovery was made during investigations into a sixth suspect, a former officer accused of sharing far-right symbols and possessing and distributing child pornography. The homes of three officers were searched last week. The police chief of Recklinghausen, Friederike Zurhausen, and the interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, have both made statements condemning the actions and emphasizing the responsibility of officers to uphold justice and constitutional values. German law strictly prohibits Holocaust denial and the spread of Nazi propaganda, and recent right-wing terrorist attacks have led to strengthened hate speech laws.

German football tightens security measures
The Bundesliga and Ligaverbandes, representing German professional football clubs, have introduced new security measures in response to increased violence and political pressure. The decision was made on the 12th of December, a date significant to the 12:12 campaign by fans who oppose the measures, feeling excluded from the decision-making process. The new rules include potential limits on ticket allocations for away fans and increased security at stadiums, but they do not ban standing areas as some feared. The changes come amid reports of a 20% increase in football-related police work and recent violent incidents. Bundesliga boasts the highest match-day attendance in Europe, with fan-friendly policies like cheap standing tickets and in-stadium amenities. The new security measures will be reviewed after three years.

The far right, also favorite in Brandenburg
The Social Democratic Party (SPD) faces a significant challenge in Brandenburg, where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) leads in polls. SPD's Dietmar Woidke, in power for 11 years, risks losing his position, which could impact Chancellor Olaf Scholz's federal government. The SPD's struggles are compounded by internal criticism and a shift in migration policies due to pressure from conservative forces and the AfD's rise. Germany's recent migration policy changes, including increased border controls, have drawn criticism from European partners. The AfD's anti-immigration stance gains traction among younger voters, highlighting a shift in political sentiment across Germany.

As cannabis consumption surges, Germany opts for partial legalisation
Germany has partially legalised cannabis, allowing adults to possess limited amounts and grow plants at home, while prohibiting over-the-counter sales. The move aims to combat the black market and protect youth, though it faces opposition from the Christian Democrats and medical associations concerned about health impacts. Cannabis Social Clubs will be the only legal source, with complex regulations and restrictions on consumption. The law's enforcement may vary across regions, with potential changes anticipated in the future.
