DThe Hamburg public prosecutor’s office continues to investigate the suspicion of a violation of the residence law by soccer professional Bakery Jatta from the second division club Hamburger SV. The Senate of the Hanseatic City replied to an inquiry from the AfD parliamentary group in the Hamburg city council: “There are specific indications of contacts with people who, according to the current status of the investigation, can only be associated with Mr. Daffeh.” those who had been confiscated during a Jatta house search just under two weeks ago continued, the Senate informed.
Jatta is suspected of having provided incorrect information about his identity when he fled to Germany in 2015. Since 2019, there have been speculations that the 22-year-old Gambier could be Bakary Daffeh, who is two years older. Jatta has always denied that. The public prosecutor’s office in Bremen and the Hamburg district office in Mitte had closed their investigations in the late autumn of last year after months of intensive testing because Gambia’s ministry had also confirmed Jatta’s identity.
The “Bild” newspaper reported on Wednesday that Jatta’s account was the focus of the investigation. Transfers of smaller amounts to teammates from Daffeh are said to have been found. “In the course of the routine investigation, we checked Mr. Jatta’s account movements, among other things, and came across contacts that we couldn’t understand,” said Nana Frombach, spokeswoman for the Hamburg public prosecutor’s office. “We have to wait and see what happens. It can also be a harmless explanation for the contacts. “
