The German government has launched investigations against an employee of the Federal Bureau for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). There are investigations against individual persons due to a considerable “change”, government spokesman Stephen Seibert said in Berlin. The Federal Interior Ministry acknowledged that a affected civil servant has been relieved of her duties. Details were not given due to the following procedure. Asylum seekers were mainly Jesuits
According to media reports, the BAMF employee of the Bremen branch has approved asylum demand in more than 2,000 cases, though this is not justified by preconditions. In the case of asylum seekers, it is said that for the most part, there is a pregnancy. Alongside BAMF's official in Bremen's prosecution investigations, three lawyers and a translator are believed to be involved.
If they're really paid money, that's not clear. But at least the civil servant is believed to have received subsidies in the form of restaurant invitations.
Previously it was 1200 cases. In the meantime, investigators reportedly speak of some 2,000 cases in 2013 to 2017. Only 98 of the requirements were in the competence of the BAMF's Bremen branch. Asylum seekers are said to have mostly been not from Bremen, but from Downfire and North Rythphalia.
So far there is no BAMF position
Investigators announced that in the past few days, they have checked eight objects in Bremen and in Down Below Saxony, among them many Chancellor offices. The charge is bribery and incentive to present manipulated prayers for asylum. A BAMF spokeswoman said “substitutes of rules and annulments” have been ordered.
Interior Secretary of State Stephan Mayer told Germany's editorial network that approvals of asylum requests issued in Bremen will be verified as soon as possible and, in case of need, canceled. The quota of accepting asylum applications for Jesuits from Syria in 2016 in Germany was still 92 per cent to 96 per cent. / DW
