On Wednesday, 138 Afghans traveled by plane to Germany. Some of them had a residence permit, but fake or falsified documents with them. Now the police are investigating.
“We can confirm that the particularly endangered persons from Afghanistan yesterday were subject to an access control from Pakistan and the research procedures were started,” said a spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior on Thursday. In principle, however, it is already checked in the circumference, he emphasized. If there are deviations in the documents, they are noticed in the file for the visa process.
The plane landed on Leipzig/Halle Airport on Wednesday. There are 76 women, 62 men and 45 children and adolescents among travelers. “All people on the charter flight were put to the test. If there were no doubts about identity, because safety has a top priority in the procedure,” said a spokeswoman for the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vienna. All who came in were prosecuted by the Taliban, including the former spokeswoman for the presidential office before taking over the power, teachers and lawyers “who campaigned for a constitutional Afghanistan”.
Probable crimes?
The German government accepts Afghans through various programs, for example former employees of German institutions and people who have to be afraid of persecution by the Taliban.
It was possible that the officials in Germany encountered the same discrepancies as their colleagues in the sketch, was said from security circles. For example, research is started if you have suspected a criminal offense. It did not necessarily mean that the recording would be refused. However, six people were removed from the list before departure because there were ambiguities in their documents.
If documents were submitted in the visa process that may have been incorrectly or forged, identity with other evidence would be determined, it said of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. DNA report can, for example, be asked to prove family relationships. “Photos are also possible, videos, vaccination passes, students, other official documents, interviews and surveys etc. to clarify an identity or family relationships.”
Next government wants to end programs
The planned government of the CDU, CSU and SPD wants to end as many voluntary access programs as possible. Until then there are still flights under the outgoing government. The admission obligations have been entered into in the past, according to the Ministry of the Interior, new obligations are no longer available.
