Did you miss this most disturbing and revealing story from last October? A Syrian family of criminals was paid handsomely to leave Germany and return to Syria. Apparently the German government does not think that because of their numerous crimes they can simply be deported by fiat, but have to be bribed to leave. More on this appalling tale can be found here: “Syrian crime family voluntarily leaves Germany with state payout after racking up over 160 offenses,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, October 20, 2025:
A notorious Syrian crime family whose members are accused of more than 160 offenses in Germany has left the country under a state-funded “controlled exit,” with officials confirming that each received cash payments before departing.
The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Justice announced on Monday that 17 members of the family, many of whom were already known to police, had voluntarily returned to Syria. The family, originally from Syria and who arrived in Germany between 2015 and 2020, had been living in Stuttgart and had terrorized local communities for years.
Yet no effort was made during those years when family members “terrorized” German neighbors to deport them. Why not? Were they not guilty of frightening behavior? If that is not considered an offense under current German law, why was a law not passed to make it a punishable offense?
The total crime count from the family came to light after a parliamentary inquiry from the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which was then released by the state interior ministry in December last year. It showed members had conducted 47 physical assaults, 11 threats, two robberies, three robbery-related thefts, and one case of smuggling of foreigners, while attempted murder charges had also been added.
One of the youngest criminals in the family is 17-year-old Khalil H., who committed 34 crimes in just two and a half years. He is now serving actual prison time after brutally stabbing a young woman. He also has three brothers who are in prison as well, all of whom are serving multi-year sentences….
State Secretary Siegfried Lorek defended the move, describing it as “money well spent.” After months of unsuccessful negotiations, family head Almudy H., who is also a convicted criminal, accepted the state’s offer, with the prospect of family reunification back in Syria becoming more appealing once some members had already returned and others faced deportation upon completing their sentences.
Almudy H. has previously blamed the German Youth Welfare Office for the crimes, claiming the agency “spoiled his children” with handouts instead of having them work and earn their own way.
These Syrians were economic migrants, who came to Germany to batten on all the benefits that this generous welfare state provides. For one of them to now claim his children turned to crime because they had been given so many handouts from the German state and hadn’t learned to work hard is a bit rich. The children in this extended family “turned to crime” because all of their relatives were criminals; they were simply joining the family business.
“The message is clear: Those who commit criminal acts have no future in Germany,” Lorek said, a somewhat confusing message considering the family only returned to their country of origin voluntarily.
What Lorek said is nonsense. These criminals had quite a run before finally being either put in prison or paid to self-deport. They made out like gangbusters for years, and then were even paid to leave Germany. Nor were they required to commit to never trying to enter Germany again. No doubt several will try to do so. The sums they received as welfare payments from the state, and the amounts they made from crime, were just too large to pass up forever.
Asked about the risk of the family trying to re-enter Germany, Lorek noted that human smuggling typically costs around €10,000 per person. “Therefore, the current funding cannot be used for this purpose,” he said.
Of course it can. It only takes five of those family members to pool what they received from the state when they agreed to leave Germany,, and they will have enough to hire a people smuggler for one of them to return to Germany, where he can again live on welfare benefits and crimes of property, and when he is asked to self-deport, will receive another fat payment.

More crime, more payouts only to have these people change their names, facial features changed, finger prints altered and back to Germany to get more money.

Who ever made that decision should have been sent with them.

Muslims are criminals of Allah against Non-Muslims with Muslim discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Jihad, holy war against Non-Muslims to make Islam supreme, is the best course of Muslim action as taught in Islam’s Qur’an and in Sharia, Islamic Law. Allah in Qur’an 9:41 says, “March forth lightly or heavily, and perform jihad with your money and your lives for the sake of Allah. This is best for you, if you were knowing.”
Allah is merciful to those Muslims who emigrate and perform jihad against Non-Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 8:74 says, “And those who believed and emigrated and performed jihad for the sake of Allah, and those who gave asylum and helped, those are the true believers; they will receive forgiveness and generous provisions.”

They take the German money, spit in their faces once the Cash is in hand, fly out to Syria paid by Germans, in which Class I wonder, then stay in Syria for a short while then return to Germany as they did before as they know the smugglers and the Route well enough..
muslimes meanwhile laugh and laugh at the stupidity of the infidel knowing who is wining this game and who aint.
Rather than charging these Syrians for the flight back to whatever shithole they crawled out of the Germans are paying them to leave with Cash and a free Plane Ride…
Does anybody think these muslimes are now going to pay more or less respect for Germans?.
Not a trick quick question.
islamism is nazism 101.

As long as they’re not allowed to return to Germany or anywhere else in Europe, that’s fine. Let them live lavishly in Syria all they want

Ya know, deportation has a terrible history in Germany from the 1940s. They probably thought “anything but deportation” to get rid of the undesirables.
