A second suspect in the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Berlin robbery has been arrested by police in the German capital.
Twenty-year-old Ahmad El-Awayti was picked up at a central Berlin subway station on Wednesday afternoon according to The Associated Press. He did not resist arrest.
Police also say they have found the Mercedes car used in the robbery and they have now established that the €242,000 stolen in the heist was divided up between the culprits immediately after it was stolen.
The authorities made a significant breakthrough in the case after one of the suspects, as yet unnamed, turned himself in on Monday. He has told police he will hand over his share of the money through his lawyer.
Two suspects in the case — Jihad Chetwie, a 19-year-old German; and Mustafa Ucarkus, a 20-year-old Turkish citizen – remain at large. Police say they are not looking for anyone else in relation to the crime and that all the suspects were previously known to them.
