Children from an extensive family, along with three spouses, are residing at the expense of taxpayers, with a recorded total of 150 criminal offenses among them.
In the city of Stuttgart, a Syrian clan from Aleppo has been causing concern for several years. The family, which consists of 16 members, arrived in Germany between 2015 and 2020, and currently enjoys refugee or subsidiary protection status.
Last Friday, a raid was conducted on the family, involving a special task force. The operation was not only due to suspected fraudulent receipt of social benefits, but also because of a 15-year-old son's involvement in a bodily injury case in mid-June. Officers found a video of the incident on the son's phone and secured the device during the raid.
The clan is reportedly linked to over 150 crimes, with 11 of the children having chosen a criminal path. These offenses range from attempted manslaughter, knife attacks, dangerous bodily injury, and theft. Three members of the clan were temporarily deported after their residence status was withdrawn, but they are still in Germany. Six of the children are currently in prison.
The 44-year-old patriarch of the family receives social assistance due to an alleged mobility impairment. However, official reports suggest that he may have only feigned his care level, as he was seen sprinting past reporters after a court hearing.
Stuttgart's mayor, Frank Nopper (CDU), has been vocal about the situation, stating that deportable criminals should not continue to live in Germany, endanger peaceful coexistence, and even receive social benefits. He has further demanded that deportation must now be followed immediately by expulsion. Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Justice, Marion Gentges (CDU), had already called at the beginning of the year to increase pressure on Syria and to link reconstruction aid to returns.
However, it's important to note that the search results do not contain any information about ongoing legal proceedings or deportation status related to this Syrian clan in Stuttgart. As such, no authoritative answer can be provided about the specific legal or deportation circumstances of this family.
During the raid, family members threatened violence against the police and a female family member resisted officers, but no arrests were made. Despite these incidents, the situation remains under investigation.
- The Syrian clan from Aleppo, currently residing in Stuttgart, has been under scrutiny not only due to their suspected fraudulent receipt of social benefits and their children's involvements in general-news events like crime and justice, but also because of their alleged links to over 150 crimes within the region.
- Beyond the 15-year-old son's bodily injury case in mid-June, which led to a raid on the family, its members have been accused of various offenses, including attempted manslaughter, knife attacks, dangerous bodily injury, and theft, a concern that has been echoed by Stuttgart's mayor, Frank Nopper, who advocates for immediate deportation and expulsion of deportable criminals.
