Weil sie unrechtmäßige Aufenthaltstitel gegen Bezahlung ausgestellt haben soll, ist eine Mitarbeiterin eines Ausländeramts in Bayern festgenommen worden. Die Wohnung und der Arbeitsplatz der Frau beim Landratsamt Unterallgäu wurden durchsucht.

Overview

  • Police searched the employee’s office and home on December 22 after obtaining judicial warrants from the Memmingen court.
  • Investigators suspect the worker issued residence permits from 2021 through late 2023 without legal basis and sought payments, with a larger number of decisions under review.
  • An arrest warrant was issued and then suspended; the suspect was released and must report to police twice weekly.
  • The county administration says it found the irregularities during internal controls, notified prosecutors, suspended the employee, and is considering termination with no signs of wider staff involvement.
  • The case is being handled by Kriminalpolizei Memmingen under the Memmingen prosecutor’s office and comes as other Allgäu municipal probes, including separate cases in Kempten, continue.
