We can’t know the name of the twin brothers, who robbed Kaufhaus Des Westens (the second largest Department store in Europe), because the law protects their privacy. But it’s something. The robbers accidentally dropped a glove at the crime scene. DNA analysis showed that the glove belongs to one of the twins — Hassan or Abbas O. Because the DNA of identical twins is difficult to distinguish, and the additional evidence the investigators had, the police did not understand which of the brothers owned the glove. In the end, both were released.
