Cold storage kidnapper is now locked up himself

Coerced in Cold Storage: Fitness Trainer Faces Consequences

Saarbrücken – A drug deal gone awry and a friendship turned sour: after an allegedly botched transaction, fitness trainer Khosrow T. (46) reportedly kidnapped a Frankfurt music executive (41) and subjected him to cruel treatment in a frigid chamber. Now, he finds himself facing an extended prison sentence.

Once close friends with ambitions of wealth, Khosrow T. and the music executive had planned to open a restaurant together in 2021, with the music executive leveraging his connections in the German hip-hop scene to also supply the scene with cocaine and marijuana.

According to court documents, Khosrow T. delivered four kilograms of cocaine with a trade value of €100,000 (equivalent to a street value of €2,400,000). However, the music executive refused to pay, alleging the substance was subpar and he had been embarrassed in front of his customers. He then vanished without a trace, ceasing all contact.

Unwilling to let the matter rest, Khosrow T. enlisted the help of his co-conspirator Bernardo A. (44). Together with Nawid A. (39) and Murat K. (45), they arranged a rendezvous with the music executive in Neu-Isenburg near Frankfurt. Under the guise of mending their relationships, Khosrow T. and his associates forced the executive into their vehicle and covered his face with a motorcycle helmet.

Torture in the Refrigerated Cellar

Their journey culminated in the cellar of a bar in Saarbrücken. The music executive found himself bound to a chair in a freezing room at a temperature of 3.9 degrees Celsius with adhesive tape binding his arms and neck. Khosrow T. attacked him with vicious punches and demanded payment for the €100,000 in unpaid cocaine funds. If the executive himself didn't have the money, Khosrow T. threatened to seize the music executive's €70,000 vehicle and revealed that "brothers" knew of replying parties in the executive's family's whereabouts.

However, the music executive somehow managed to draw the attention of passersby by screaming, leading to his release. The police later discovered tape stained with his blood.

The music executive's freedom was brief, as he, too, was subsequently apprehended by authorities for his collaboration with Khosrow T.

Currently, the Saarbrücken district court has rendered a verdict: Khosrow T. will serve a six-and-a-half-year sentence, while Nawid A., who has prior criminal convictions, faces three-and-a-half years. Bernardo A. and Murat K. received suspended sentences of less than two years. The verdict's finality, however, remains pending – Khosrow T.'s defense has lodged an appeal.

While sources delve into various subjects involving organized crime, corruption, and terrorism, they do not disclose information on such a specific incident.

If you seek information related to a similar scenario involving kidnapping and abuse, you may consider the following:

• Syd Atlas' book "Das Jahr ohne Worte" (The Year Without Words) chronicling a woman's struggles with her husband's ALS diagnosis but without involving a kidnapping scenario.
• Right-wing terrorism incidents, such as the Christchurch mosque shootings, involve violent acts but do not remotely resemble the described scenario.
• Financial crime and corruption cases discussed in the TRACE podcast series do not reference a cold storage kidnapper nor relate to the Frankfurt music executive's situation.

For detailed information on the specific case under scrutiny, you'd require additional sources specialized in crime reports or relevant incidents.
