DISINFO: Not a single criminal case has been opened in Germany for more than 500 sex crimes committed by refugees

SUMMARY

Not a single criminal case has been opened in Germany for more than 500 sex crimes committed by refugees. // George Soros stands behind the refugee crisis in Europe.

RESPONSE

The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) releases an annual situation report on crime in Germany, with an emphasis on criminality among immigrants.

Out of 9.414 cases of rape/sexual assault 37% (=3.483) in 2017 included a non-German suspect and 15.9% (=1.469) included an immigrant suspect. The definition of immigrant includes asylum-seekers; those who have been allowed to stay temporarily despite not having received asylum status; illegal immigrants; and refugees who have been brought into Germany on the basis of quotas. Suspects whose asylum applications have been approved are not included.

The overall crime fell 9.6 percent in Germany in 2017. Read more here.
