People who have fled the Islamic State terrorist militia also expect protection from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees. But what if they were suddenly sitting there in front of a radical Islamist? The government confirms that there is a suspicious case.
A suspected Islamist is employed by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf). In response from the Federal Ministry of the Interior to a request from the left-wing parliamentary group, it says: “The Federal Government is aware of a specific suspicious case in the field of Islamism and Islamist terrorism.” Since the case is probably not closed yet, no further details have been revealed.
The government response, which has been received by the German Press Agency, also does not contain specific information on possible attempts by foreign intelligence services to place informants in Bamf as translators to collect information on opposition members in exile. The Interior Ministry only announced that all employees of the agency would be subjected to a security check.
A former NPD member who was noticed by an anonymous tip in 2017, the Bamf would have ended. In the past, he had displayed “anti-foreigner and hostile to asylum sentiment” through statements on social media and posted disparaging statements about Jewish victims of National Socialism. During his brief activity for the authority, the employee was involved in quality control and assurance of professional language courses and did not make any asylum decisions, he said. When asked if a second employee who has since resigned and has connections to the right-wing extremist “Hammerskins” could have made a decision at the expense of the asylum seekers, the government responded that it had simply coordinated the so-called transfers from Dublin to others. EU countries.
In Bamf there is “a culture of distrust towards those who seek protection, which is also based on racist resentment and therefore compatible with the ideas of the right,” commented the internal political spokesperson for the left-wing parliamentary group, Ulla Jelpke. It is no less dangerous for refugees if, for example, they flee from the Islamic State terrorist militia and then sit in front of a radical Islamist in the Federal Office who could “pass the personal data of those seeking protection to their accomplices.”
