The Ministry of Education told RTL that an employee of the Diploma Recognition Service was dismissed in 2024 due to professional ineptitude. This is thought to be in connection with the current immigration case. However, the ministry said it could not confirm whether she is among the approximately 30 accused in the ongoing investigation.
In contrast, the Ministry of Immigration told RTL it would not have data on the number of its employees who were dismissed, reinstated or suspended, or how many had been indicted, until next week. The department's director has been subjected to questioning as part of the investigation.
Since the prosecutor's office made public its investigation into a major case of fraudulent immigration and corruption last week, new information has been released practically every day. What kind of immigration is this? How and where could the fraud have occurred? Which administrations are involved and what are the political ramifications?
