Four in five migrants hoping to make a new life in the promised land of Europe will land in Germany without a passport a shocking new report by the federal police has revealed.
Between January and April, out of 114,255 of asylum seekers waiting to cross the border, around 91,000 did not have the required documents.
And from January to March this year German border officers seized 1,306 fake documents from asylum seekers, of which 145 were Syrian refugees, according to German newspaper Bild.
Meanwhile, in 2015, federal police seized 4,973 fake identification documents when searching travelling migrants in Germany - 834 of those were fake IDs of Syrian refugees.
It seems criminals have managed to slip through the net as since the first four months of 2016, more than 4,000 people who have entered the country are now on the Germany’s most wanted list.
There is speculation that many of the migrants are forced to use fake documents after destroying their papers before trying to enter Germany since they reveal information on travel routes within Europe - which could lead to their return in the first EU country they entered under the EU Dublin regulation.
