Imagine what that has cost the tax paying citizens of Germany. All for guilt from 80 years ago.
Remember your past sure. Don't make the same mistakes again. Absolutely.
But to hold those people for that long, for "their own safety" is just bizarre.
Imagine any other country doing that?
Honesty, I'm all ears to hear why Germany should have spent all that money for all those years. Maybe I'm ignorant on certain facts. It's just so surreal to read though.
Where are you getting 20 years from? Most likely, most of these convictions are either already past or sub-1-year convictions for stealing, drug offences, refugee-specific offences (like leaving town) or random other small shit.
In summer 2021, Germany halted all deportations to Afghanistan due to the security situation as U.S. forces pulled out of the country after 20 years while the Taliban swept back to power.
I did a page search for "20 years" and there's literally no other mention than the completely irrelevant bit you quoted. So where is that number coming from?
