Munich – Even experienced police officers rarely experience THAT …

On Friday (October 9) four passengers stood in front of federal police officers at the airport. The Iraqis, father (49), mother (44) and two children (12 and 7), did not travel on a regular plane, but on a business jet.

One after another: On Friday afternoon, a federal police officer checked the passengers of a commercial airplane that had arrived from Istanbul at the “General Aviation Terminal.” The Iraqi family, diplomats according to the announcement, were reportedly headed from the Bosphorus to the Caribbean island of Dominica.

In Munich, only one night is planned with a subsequent plane change, the handling agent informed officials. However, when checking the travelers, he noticed that the would-be diplomats could not speak French or English.

Examination of the diplomatic accreditation cards of the Caribbean state of St. Kitts and Nevis should bring certainty: they were false. The twelve-year-old son was able to explain to the border police that the family was on the run.

During subsequent questioning, the parents said they were fleeing from the woman’s father. This is strictly religious and requires that the 44-year-old daughter and the seven-year-old daughter be circumcised according to Islamic law. After the family did not comply with this request, the father-in-law threatened him and his wife, the 49-year-old said.

As a result, he sold his house, garden and restaurant in northern Iraq and fled to Turkey with his family six days ago. There they were then taken to an Istanbul airport by a Syrian smuggler against payment of around 60,000 euros. Then the business jet went to Munich, where he wanted to ask for protection.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees is responsible for examining and processing this application for protection. Therefore, after completing the police measures at the scene, the federal police sent the Iraqis to an AnkER center in Bavaria. The investigation against the traffickers is ongoing.
