German officials have ordered a cover-up of crimes committed by migrants to prevent causing alarm, a local newspaper has claimed.
Asylum
seekers are being recruited across the country as cheap drug dealers as
well as petty thieves, says German newspaper, Bild - the biggest daily
paper in the country.
The
paper accused the police of covering up the extent of migrant crimes in
order to stop concerns among the general population.
It
also claimed asylum seekers were prepared to work for a few euros
couriering drugs across the country and said they were being signed up
almost as soon as they had registered as asylum seekers.
Germany officials have apparently
ordered a cover-up of crimes committed by migrants to prevent causing
public alarm, German newspaper Bild has claimed
Bild claim that migrants are being
used as cheap drug traffickers and dealers as well as petty thieves but
the extent of the crimes has been hushed up by police so as not fuel
right-wing debate
Migrant
crime was apparently the hot topic of discussion at gatherings of
police, city officials, health officials and other officials dealing
with the drug problem in the city of Frankfurt.
As
well as drug related crimes, asylum seekers were also being used to
sell stolen goods such as mobile phones, which in many cases were sold
on to other refugees.
But
the paper said that all of the officials dealing with the problem had
been ordered not to talk about it, as it was an extremely sensitive
subject that has been forbidden to be referred to in an 'offensive
manner'.
The
reason given by the paper was to avoid alarming the general public
already concerned with the vast number of asylum seekers the country has
allowed in, but also to avoid providing material for right-wing
extremists.
New
arrivals to the country were apparently the most desirable as they did
not have any formal way of complaining about what they were asked to do
and rarely gave problems to the drug-dealing Mafia.
The most successful couriers are then being recruited into the Mafia and are also being used to bring in further new recruits.
This
shocking claim comes as Germany will have registered just over a
million migrants by the end of the year, a local paper has claimed.
This is roughly in line with the latest predictions but still about five times more than last year.
The shocking claim comes as Germany registered over one million migrants in 2015, five times last year's total
As
Europe's biggest economy, Germany is a magnet for migrants partly due
to generous social benefits and is taking in more refugees from the
Middle East and Africa than any other EU state.
Authorities
expect about 125,000 asylum seekers to have registered on Germany's
EASY system in December, down considerably from 206,000 last
month, Saechsische Zeitung reported, citing unpublished government
figures.
That brings the overall figure to 1.09 million people.
A
spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry declined to confirm the numbers
which will be available in early January, but Interior Minister Thomas
de Maiziere said in a statement the numbers were falling slightly.
