Corporations secretly providing bribes to publishing companies
In the heart of Berlin's Kreuzberg district, a property damage incident occurred yesterday afternoon at a publishing building on Friedrichstraße. The incident involved vandalism, specifically spray-painting of a political slogan on the glass facade of the building.
By the time the police arrived, the slogan had already been removed, and no road closures or detours were necessary in the area. The authorities have not disclosed any details about the investigation's progress, but the State Protection Police of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office has taken over further investigations.
The 1990 political graffiti incident is reminiscent of the vibrant street art and murals that marked Kreuzberg during that period. Notable graffiti artists like Lutz and Blu, known for their mural work that played a significant role in the neighborhood's cultural and political landscape, were active in that era. Their approach was often informal, with artworks created before receiving formal permission, sometimes leading to politically charged graffiti in public spaces.
While the specific individual responsible for the incident at the publishing building remains unidentified, the general context suggests that local street artists and collectives were driving the politically motivated graffiti in Kreuzberg around 1990. The graffiti was part of a broader movement of street art and murals that eventually influenced gentrification in the area.
Despite the lack of a named suspect, key figures involved in political graffiti in Kreuzberg in 1990 include artists like Lutz and Blu, who created murals at that time with political significance. The authorities have not released any information about potential suspects or motives related to the incident.
The publishing building in Kreuzberg has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. The authorities have not announced any estimated time for the completion of the investigation, and they have not confirmed if any security cameras captured footage of the incident.
The exact nature of the political slogan that was spray-painted on the building's glass facade remains undisclosed. The authorities have not indicated whether they are considering this incident as part of a larger pattern of similar incidents.
