The al-Zein crime family (Arabic: الزين, romanized: az-Zayn; also known as the al-Zein Clan) is a prominent Mhallami-Lebanese mafia organization primarily based in Germany. This criminal syndicate has gained notoriety for its wide-ranging involvement in various illicit activities, including drug trafficking, armed robbery, arms trafficking, assault, extortion, fraud, money laundering, kidnapping, and murder.^[1]

The al-Zein Clan has garnered significant attention due to its vast membership, estimated to be around 15,000 individuals primarily located in Germany. While its core operations are based in Germany, the clan has extended its influence and presence throughout Europe and the Middle East, with members reported in countries such as Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United States.^[2] While most are based in Germany, the clan has members throughout Europe and the Middle East, for example in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Turkey.^[3][4][5][6]
