Newly released government statistics have ignited fierce debate over immigration policy in Germany, revealing that suspects of Syrian origin were linked to 135,668 crimes between 2015 and 2024, one every 39 minutes on average. The figures were disclosed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in response to a parliamentary query from the populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The data has prompted renewed demands for stricter border controls and mass deportations, as critics decry migrants’ toll on public safety.
The report also tallies significant offenses tied to other nationalities: 82,960 from Afghanistan, 69,946 from Iraq, 39,918 from Morocco, and 32,383 from Algeria. In total, suspects from the top 10 countries of origin accounted for more than 460,000 violations over the decade.
