The data comes from the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM).<\/p>\n<p>For asylum seekers as a whole, the rate of criminality is much lower, with only 12.5 percent having been accused of one or more offenses. Nationals from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are therefore extremely overrepresented compared to other asylum seeker groups.<\/p>\n<p>North Africans also have little chance of having their asylum applications accepted by Swiss authorities, with 99 percent of all applications rejected, according to Swiss newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blick.ch\/politik\/blick-zeigt-exklusive-zahlen-80-prozent-der-nordafrikaner-sind-kriminell-id22194802.html\">Blick<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"1Xhv9pgIN7\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/rmx.news\/article\/he-grabbed-my-ass-i-told-him-to-stop-18-year-old-african-asylum-seeker-goes-on-a-rampage-at-swedish-bathing-area\/\">\u2018He grabbed my ass, I told him to stop\u2019 \u2013 18-year-old African asylum seeker goes on a rampage at Swedish bathing area<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>In 2024, a \u201c24-hour\u201d rule was introduced for accelerated asylum procedures for North African countries, which enables Swiss authorities to process asylum claims with a low chance of success more quickly.
