Some violent crimes have seen the number of foreign suspects triple.
According to official German government data, the number of foreign suspects in violent crimes have skyrocketed in Germany, since the start of the century. The number of foreigners accused of homicide increased by 77.1% between 2000 and 2025, while the increase in suspected sexual offenses was even more pronounced, rising by 148.2% over the same period.
The 2025 figures show that the proportion of foreigners involved in violent crime has increased overall by 71.6% since 2000. The number of non-Germans suspected of negligent simple bodily harm also rose by 169.3%.
Across the board, in almost all categories of crime the number of foreign suspects has significantly increased. In robberies, by 22.9%, while the number of pickpocketing suspects has almost doubled, rising by 97.9%. The proportion of foreigners involved in fraud increased by 45.3%, suspects of street crime, referring to offenses committed in public spaces, including violent, drug and vandalism offenses, showed a 52.6% jump.
Across total crime, defined as the sum of all offenses registered in the police crime statistics, the proportion of non-Germans increased by 39.8% over the same period. While every third crime is being committed by a foreigner, their number across the whole German population is only 14.9%, meaning they are much more likely to commit crimes than the local population.
Despite the gruel facts, large-scale, uncontrolled immigration into Germany continues.
The ratio of foreigners in Germany suspected of posing a threat increased by 231.5% since the start of the century. During the same period, the number of non-Germans listed by authorities as suspects in cases of intentional simple assault rose by 169.3%.
AfD politician Stephan Brandner, who had requested that the data be released, described the figures as “shocking news.”
The politician said the German Federal Republic “certainly has enough to deal with regarding German criminals,” so there is no need to import foreign criminals.
“Anyone who comes to Germany supposedly seeking protection and then becomes a criminal has forfeited their right to protection,” Brandner nailed down, in response to the inability of the German state to effectively deport foreign criminals.
