The Deutschland-Clan can be defined as a coalition of new and existing organized crime and loosely political groups, rejuvenated and brought together by an influx of "ex" Stasi agents after the fall of communism (1989 onwards.) Operating mainly in Germany, of course, but also Canada to a surprising extent and the United States. (Think railroad companies.) Presumably, the Clan must have links with Argentina and Uruguay, but Medawar has no definitive information on this.
Medawar would welcome comments on the groups and processes involved in the creation of the Deutschland-Clan, but he is more concerned with what protest groups, political movements or even commercial companies, members of the Deutschland-Clan have subsequently joined or tried to join, and whether and in what direction, clan members have attempted to influence those groups. If readers know of a company infiltrated by the Deutschland-Clan, what did the agenda appear to be?
For example; did they want to take the company over, or run it into the ground so it didn't compete with something else?
Or did they attempt to completely redefine what the company did, its commercial or geographical area of business, or radically alter its internal culture?
Did the company become a tool of political influence (or was it one already), or did money appear to be the clan's sole interest?
Much the same applies to pressure groups or political movements: What did they do, what did they want, was there a wholesale change in the way everything was done? If readers were members of an organization, of absolutely any sort, including police departments, which acquired Deutschland-Clan infiltrators or influence, did it feel bad, or was there anything good about it? (Perhaps greater efficiency and sense of purpose, even if it's not wholly clear to non-insiders what the new purpose is!)
