Overview

  • After an internal review, Mayor Torsten Burmester said the Bosnian man's current Duldung is lawful and appropriately monitored by the foreigners' office.
  • NRW Minister-President Hendrik Wüst condemned the case as evidence of asylum-law weaknesses and called for faster deportations and possible benefit-rule changes.
  • Municipal records show the ten-person household received about €7,250 in September 2023, with ongoing Bürgergeld plus housing, health and child support payments.
  • The city cites repeated failed deportation attempts due to the absence of replacement travel documents from the country of origin.
  • Local records list seven criminal entries since age 26, and a December 2025 fraud case was provisionally stayed after a court summons could not be delivered.
