A Greek Named Mustafa Kills a German Train Conductor Named Serkan

A train conductor was checking tickets on an express train in Germany, when he came across someone without a valid ticket. A contretemps ensued; the conductor was repeatedly punched in his head, and he died soon after. The unusual aspects of this case, however, can be found in the identities of both the attacker and his victim. Here is a story from the German press:

On Monday, February 2, 2026, in a German Railways regional express train (near Landstuhl/Kaiserslautern in Rhineland-Palatinate), a 36-year-old train conductor named Serkan C. was attacked during a ticket check by a 26-year-old man without a valid ticket. The attacker repeatedly and violently punched the conductor in the head. Serkan C. collapsed, had to be resuscitated, and died on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, in the hospital from a brain hemorrhage resulting from the blunt force trauma.

The suspect is a 26-year-old Greek citizen who, according to his own statements, lives in Luxembourg (no permanent residence in Germany). He was arrested shortly after the crime, is in pre-trial detention, and has so far remained silent regarding the charges. The public prosecutor’s office in Zweibrücken is investigating for manslaughter (originally it was attempted manslaughter, but after the victim’s death it became manslaughter). There were no previous convictions or police records against him in Germany, and no weapon was used – only punches. The crime has caused great outrage nationwide, especially because the train conductor was only doing his job (checking tickets of a fare evader). The victim’s father suffered a heart attack after learning of the crime.

The Greek media are now claiming that this Greek man’s name is Mustafa Aslan, meaning he is obviously a Syrian or Turk with a Greek passport.

Now, for the victim, it probably doesn’t matter so much what papers the perpetrator possesses. However, this once again shows how the German media operate and act as if they have something to hide.

The statistics [on Muslim crime] look “better” [when a “Greek” is identified as the killer], but the reality does not.

The German media never provided the killer’s name in reporting on this tale of horror. It didn’t want to let the public know that although the conductor’s killer may have been a Greek citizen, his name — Mustafa Arslan — gives him away as a Muslim, most likely from Turkey. The victim, Serkan C., was apparently a Turk also, as Serkan is a relatively common Turkish name.

And so in this instance, we have two people identified by nationalities they do not possess, in line with the all too common practice of the media, which consistently pretends that anyone who migrates to a European country and seeks citizenship is by dint of that fact just as much of a European as someone whose family has lived in Greece or Germany from time immemorial.

The media in Germany do whatever they can to hide from the public the real cost to the German people of the seven million Muslims who have been allowed to settle within the country. They omit from their crime reporting any information that would give away the Muslim identity of the perpetrator. Only the center-right party, Alternative für Deutschland, makes an effort to investigate the media’s reporting about crimes, and to correct their attempt to hide the Muslim identity of so many of the perpetrators.

The mass immigration to Germany of migrants — overwhelmingly from Muslim countries — was once presented by the country’s political class as a boon to the Germany economy. That immigration was described to the public as solving two problems. First, in Germany there is a growing labor shortage, with an aging workforce — 20% of the population is over 65 — eager to retire as early as possible because the benefits provided by the pension system are so generous. There are also fewer young German workers both to replace the retirees, and to contribute to the pensions system; family size has been steadily decreasing in Germany, and for many years the fertility rate of German women has decreased to below the replacement level. These immigrants would, it was expected, fill that need for more workers. In addition, these migrants — almost all below the age of 30 — were seen as a godsend to the social security system. Their payments into the system, as workers, would keep it from going broke, and continue to support the German retirees far into the future.

But a German economist, Prof. Bernd Raffelhüschen, has published an exhaustive study with some unhappy conclusions: he believes that continued mass migration will cost the Germans 19.2 trillion euros. It will be even worse if the migrants are Muslim economic migrants, who come not to work but to live on the benefits the generous German welfare provides. Their faith makes them less likely to be able to integrate into a society of those they regard as Infidels and hence “the most vile of created beings.” More on this expert’s findings can be found here.

Muslim migrants are also expensive in other ways. There are the costs to the state of increased rates of criminality exhibited by the Muslim population. These economic costs include property crimes — street robberies and house burglaries, vandalism, arson, as well as crimes of violence against individuals — sexual assaults, rape, and murder. The state must pay for more policemen, more detectives, more prosecutors, more court-appointed lawyers, more judges, more prisons and prison guards, and more for the feeding and health care of prisoners. That last item is an expensive proposition. It costs $50,000 to house an inmate in a German prison for a year.

Then there are the psychic costs to the indigenous Germans – the growing feeling of insecurity due to the increase in crime, the city centers that out of fear are no longer visited in the evening, with losses to restaurants and entertainment venues. The crime of Mustafa against Serkan is just one example. And it’s going to get much worse.
