Germany: Ukrainian refugee is raped by African migrants

Düsseldorf - The police arrested two migrants who are said to have raped a woman in Düsseldorf in early March who fled to Germany from Ukraine. The officials are currently clarifying the nationality of the two men, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday to Junge Freiheit.

According to the Bild newspaper, the suspects are a 37-year-old Tunisian and a 26-year-old Nigerian. They also had a Ukrainian passport with them. According to information from the newspaper, officials in the border area have recently encountered migrants who did not come directly from Ukraine, but for example from Africa.

The police spokeswoman did not want to comment on the residence status and possible criminal records of the two suspects. The men and the 18-year-old Ukrainian are said to have been on the Düsseldorf hotel ship "Oscar Wilde" at the time of the crime, on which 25 Ukrainian refugees were accommodated in addition to normal guests. There they attacked the woman one after the other. The Ukrainian is said to have traveled to Poland in the meantime because she does not feel safe in Germany.

Federal Police Union: Only harsh penalties and deportations will help
The head of the federal police union, Heiko Teggatz, appealed to politicians to do everything possible to prevent such cases in the future. "Hard and quick punishment followed by deportation is the only language that such perpetrators understand," he told the Bild newspaper .

“Smuggling, human trafficking and the promotion of prostitution are part of a crime geography. If these areas of crime are not resolutely countered when entering Europe and Germany, criminal gangs will shamelessly exploit the plight of the people from Ukraine.” Young women are the focus of these criminals.

Union faction leader Andrea Lindholz (CSU) calls on the police authorities to ensure the protection of Ukrainian women with controls in refugee accommodation in the future. The Düsseldorf case obliges us to act immediately.

Percentage of foreign sex offenders is increasing
It is not the first time that refugees have been identified as sex offenders. In February, the police in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania arrested an asylum seeker from Afghanistan who is said to have raped an eleven-year-old girl. In August, an immigrant from Guinea allegedly molested a young woman in Cologne.

The proportion of suspected foreigners in sexual offenses has risen significantly in recent years. It grew from 35 percent to 42.44 percent for rapes between 2000 and 2020, according to a response from the federal government to an information request from the AfD parliamentary group.
