The former leader of the gang Los Guerreros in Denmark was shot dead on Monday night. This was confirmed by his employer, Radio24syv, where Nedim Yasar was co-moderator.
Shortly before the deadly shots in Copenhagen, the 31-year-old Ritzau news agency was at a reception, where his book was presented. In it Yasar describes his exit from the transitional milieu. He had left the Los Guerreros who support the Bandidos in 2012 and then lived under a secret address.
Yasar has been working for Radio24syv since 2012 as co-host of the program "Polizeiradio". The station announced its death on the radio and set the flag in front of the building at half mast, as the tabloid "Ekstra Bladet", citing the editor-in-chief of the station, Jørgen Ramskov reported.
After his departure from the gangster milieu Yasar had repeatedly reported in interviews about threats - and about his fear to pay the exit with life. In a conversation published in "Ekstra Bladet" at the weekend, he said, "I've always had my rules of conduct, but since a long time nothing happened, I've diminished, and suddenly they came in the middle of the night, trying to kill me I know from this event that I can never let up, I always have to be vigilant. "
Now, according to Danmarks radio, Yasar was shot alone on the open street in Copenhagen's northwest quarter. For some time now there have been bloody clashes between enemy gangs and neighboring Nørrebro. In this week's book "Rødder" ("Roots"), Yasar describes his past.
