While Simo was still in a German cell, he ordered at least three murder attempts in 2017 via smuggled mobile phones. He regularly communicated in this way under the name ‘Godfather’, which explains his nickname. The attacks were committed out of revenge. “Simo’s role was essential. Even though he did not carry out the attacks himself, he did order them.” The court uses witness statements and sent chats as evidence. “He has been ruthless.”
