Overview

  • Officials reported two suspected cases between September 2024 and November 2025, one in the judiciary and one in the police.
  • The flagged police candidate requested release from civil service after the check identified concerns.
  • Authorities processed 598 queries from September to December 2024 and 1,762 in 2025 up to November.
  • Verfassungsschutz chief Wilfried Peters said the screening runs as an automated query with manual work only when a hit appears.
  • Interior Minister René Wilke argues for strengthening the measure, while the AfD seeks abolition and the BSW criticizes transparency and urges repeal or review.
