Data released by Germany's federal criminal police clearly indicate that nationwide, a significantly higher proportion of violent crimes are committed by foreign nationals — primarily Syrians, Afghans, and Moroccans — than by German citizens.

New police data suggest that Algerians are approximately 109 times more likely to commit robbery than Germans. Particularly striking is the finding that, according to police statistics, Syrian, Iraqi, or Bulgarian women are considered significantly more dangerous than German men. The recently released 2024 police crime report contains a crucial new detail: for the first time, the Federal Criminal Police Office has compiled the number of suspects residing in Germany and compared those figures per 100,000 inhabitants by nationality.

Syrian women more dangerous than German men

Martin Hess, a member of the Bundestag representing the AfD, recently submitted a formal query to the federal government seeking detailed data on the ratio of violent crime suspects by nationality. He requested a comparison between German suspects and the ten most frequently represented non-German nationalities among violent crime suspects.

These crimes include aggravated assault, robbery, rape, sexual assault, murder, and manslaughter.

The data reveal that individuals from countries such as Morocco, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Bulgaria are many times more likely to be involved in criminal activity than German citizens.

When measured per 100,000 inhabitants, Moroccans appear in the crime statistics almost twelve times more frequently than Germans.

Syrians are nearly eleven times more likely to be listed as suspects. At the same time, the statistics disprove the long-standing narrative that gender, not nationality, is the key factor.

“Many have tried to give the impression that sexual violence is something imported into the country. This distorts the fact that such violence has unfortunately existed in Germany for a long time,”

– Green Party politician Claudia Roth claimed in 2016, in an interview with Welt. However, it has since become clear that her statement was gravely mistaken. The figures by crime category clearly show that violence committed by migrants is the central issue.

In cases of rape and sexual assault, Afghan men were nearly eleven times more likely to be suspects than German men. In 2024, Iraqi men appeared in police statistics nearly ten times more frequently than their German counterparts.

The statistics also break down suspects by age, and here too, the differences are significant: Algerian juveniles between the ages of 14 and 18 committed robbery 77 times more often than German minors in the same age group. Moroccan youths were 36 times more likely to be suspects, while young Syrian men in this age bracket appeared eight times more frequently in the statistics than their German peers.

Until recently, such nationality-based breakdowns were only available for Berlin, Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Saxony. This year marks the first time the Federal Criminal Police Office has collected such data nationwide.

The federal government’s figures on the proportion of suspects involved in criminal activity expose a reality long denied by the traditional parties: that migrants—particularly those from predominantly Muslim cultural backgrounds—are significantly more prone to criminal behaviour than German citizens,

– AfD politician Martin Hess spelled out.

The number of suspects among young male migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, and Morocco is, for instance, ten to twenty times higher than among German suspects. “Anyone who, in light of these indisputable facts, still speaks of ‘isolated cases’ is deliberately misleading the public and refusing to confront reality,”

– emphasized Mr. Hess, who is therefore calling for effective border protection and the consistent deportation of illegal foreign nationals, according to the exxpress.at website.
