(European Conservative) Germany is grappling with a surge in violent crime, particularly group rapes — and it’s not the Germans getting more prone to commit crimes. The rising share of foreign suspects — up from 34% in 2010 to 51% in 2024 — highlights the failed integration policies of Germany and the inability of certain migrant groups to coexist in an environment culturally different from their own.
According to figures released by the Bundestag, last year saw a record number of 1,011 suspects linked to group rape cases — more than double the number reported in 2013. Fifty-one percent of those suspects were non-German nationals, continuing a trend that has intensified since 2010.
The five most common countries of origin among non-German suspects remain unchanged since 2022: Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, and Germany itself.
