Issa Remmo accuses Bundestag member Ferat Koçak of lying about their meeting
Remmo claims Koçak spent an hour in his Berlin office, contradicting the lawmaker’s statement that he left the party’s election night gathering.
Issa Remmo, leader of the Berlin-based Remmo clan, asserted that left-wing Bundestag deputy Ferat Koçak spent an hour in his office, a detail that clashes with Koçak’s claim of not recognizing Remmo and departing the party’s election night celebration. Koçak said the encounter began after a chat with Remmo’s son Firas concerning a phone handover and lasted roughly ten to fifteen minutes before he ended it. After the connection became public, Koçak stepped down from his seat on the Bundestag’s interior committee and acknowledged a mistake. Remmo confirmed the contact and disputed the party’s statement that he had been asked to leave the event.
Why it matters
The dispute highlights tensions between a prominent local clan leader and a federal lawmaker, raising questions about political transparency.
