Multiple Injuries in Shooting Outside Boxer Murder Trial in Bielefeld

A shooting incident occurred outside a courthouse in Bielefeld, Germany, during the trial of Hüseyin Akkurt, who is charged with the murder of professional boxer Besar Nimani. Reports indicate that at least three people were injured, including Akkurt's brother and father, with one in critical condition. The shooting appears to be linked to tensions surrounding the ongoing trial, which is connected to a dispute within Germany's criminal underworld, particularly involving the Albanian mafia. Witnesses reported that shots were fired around 1:30 PM on Wednesday. Police have detained one suspect in connection with the shooting, while another suspect remains at large. The trial against Akkurt stems from the 2024 murder of Nimani, who was shot outside a restaurant in Bielefeld last year.
