The gang is said to be financially supported by the Turkish ruling party AKP. Investigators from German security authorities accuse the Ottoman Germania of attacks and violent intimidation against left-wing Turks, Kurdish critics of President Erdoğan and the Gülen movement. Their activities are attributed to organized crime. According to Bundestag member Ulla Jelpke (Left), members of the Ottomans appeared as security guards at demonstrations by the right-wing extremist Gray Wolves.[5] There were also numerous violent clashes with the Kurdish-rooted Bahoz, which was also structured like a rocker gang.
