The 21-year-old from Hamburg is accused of a total of 204 crimes, each of which he committed as an indirect perpetrator. The Hamburg public prosecutor's office accuses him of, among other things, the murder of an American boy and attempted murder in five cases.
"White Tiger" is said to have been the head of a group of cyber criminals who forced children aged 11 to 15 to use violence against themselves on the internet for sexual reasons.
According to earlier information from investigators, the children come from Germany, England, Canada and the USA. A 13-year-old US-American was driven to suicide. A 14-year-old Canadian girl tried to kill herself.
Arrested in his parents' home
The German-Iranian was arrested in his parents' home in Hamburg in the summer on suspicion of murder, among other things. He is in custody in a youth detention center. The alleged sex offender had studied medicine at a private university for a time.
The Hamburg police had already investigated him in 2021. At that time, according to earlier information from the public prosecutor's office, it was on suspicion of possessing pornographic images of minors. However, the investigation was dropped after the suspect was questioned on the grounds of insignificance.
