More than 148,000 people remain subject to outstanding arrest warrants in Germany, and only 11.2 percent of them hold exclusively German citizenship, and overall, 87 percent of arrest warrant suspects are foreigners, according to figures the Federal Ministry of the Interior provided in response to a parliamentary inquiry.<\/p>\n

Foreign nationals account for 87.3 percent of the total of suspects wanted for arrests, while another 1.5 percent are German citizens who also hold a second nationality.\u00a0The data is already adding to the debate about mass immigration and criminality, especially in a country where the amount of violence, rape, and serious offenses are disproportionately committed by its foreign population<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Germany: Foreigners vastly overrepresented in violent crimes in 2025 criminal data, 72% increase in rape since 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Welt newspaper obtained<\/a> the ministry\u2019s reply to a question from Alternative for Germany (AfD) lawmaker Sebastian M\u00fcnzenmaier.<\/p>\n

M\u00fcnzenmaier told Welt am Sonntag: \u201cThe figures speak for themselves: The overwhelming majority of criminals wanted on arrest warrants do not have a German passport.\u201d He called for a \u201crigorous change of course\u201d that would include permanent and complete border controls, the immediate termination of the stay of foreign criminals, and the enforcement of prison sentences in the country of origin.<\/p>\n

While German citizens form the single largest group, at 16,671, Germany also features a population where 81 percent of people hold exclusively German citizenship. Romanian nationals follow closely with 16,123, then Polish nationals with 12,721, Georgian nationals with 6,869 and Turkish nationals with 6,696.<\/p>\n

Alexander Throm, the domestic-policy spokesman for the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentary group, said: \u201cEvery open arrest warrant poses a security risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cthe high proportion of foreign offenders, including many from other EU countries, shows that action must be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throm also noted that border controls introduced in September 2024 have done more than limit illegal migration: \u201cThey have not only curbed illegal migration. Since their start in September 2024, over 17,500 people have also been apprehended at our borders with outstanding arrest warrants.\u201d<\/p>\n

German public transport nightmare: Foreigners committed 44% of the 27,800 violent crimes on trains last year<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heiko Teggatz, chairman of the German Police Union, called the total worrying and said it \u201cof course, represents a security policy problem.\u201d State police forces, he told the paper, rarely have the staffing to mount dedicated searches; most arrests occur as a \u201cchance hit or bycatch.\u201d The union has long cited personnel shortages as a central obstacle to improved public safety.<\/p>\n

Marcel Emmerich, the Greens\u2019 domestic-policy spokesman, agreed that the volume of open warrants constitutes a serious problem, \u201cespecially when it comes to dangerous persons, extremists, violent or sex offenders.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Emmerich rejected broader border checks, noting: \u201cInstead of hoping for random hits at border controls, targeted searches are needed, especially for dangerous perpetrators of violence, threats and people from the field of politically motivated crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sebastian Fiedler, the Social Democratic Party\u2019s domestic-policy spokesman in the Bundestag, cautioned against reading the aggregate figure as evidence of 148,000 undetected dangerous offenders still inside the country. \u201cA significant portion of this is due to substitute prison sentences for unpaid fines. In North Rhine-Westphalia, more than half of all outstanding arrest warrants in total were such cases, he said. Warrants can also remain active against people who have already left Germany or been deported, so that any remaining sentence can be enforced if they return<\/p>\n

Germany: Record high 53% of gang rape suspects were foreigners in 2025, 751 victims gang raped<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cFor example, they will continue to be put out to tender for a search so that if they re-enter the country, a remaining prison sentence can be enforced,\u201d Fiedler said.<\/p>\n

While the crimes may include many petty offenses, the totals are stark. German nationals represent a minuscule share of the open arrest warrants in a country where 81 percent of the country is made up of German nationals.<\/p>\n
