The German Federal Public Prosecutor's Office opened 300 cases in 2025:294 linked to Islam and foreign extremism.

The German Federal Ministry of Justice confirmed that Islam and foreign extremism accounted for practically all investigations opened for serious threats to national security during 2025. According to official data sent to the German Parliament, 96% of the procedures initiated by the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office were linked to Islamist terrorism or extremist structures from abroad

The information came from a parliamentary question submitted by Martin Hess, a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The response from the Ministry of Justice explained that, of the 300 procedures opened by the Federal Prosecutor's Office, the body responsible for investigating the most serious crimes against State security, 180 were directly related to Islamist terrorism

Martin Hess requested the revealing report.

Another 114 cases were classified as foreign extremism. Together, both types of research totaled 294 investigations, representing 96% of the total number of procedures initiated

during the year.

According to the German Ministry of Justice, cases linked to Islam were mainly related to crimes committed abroad and to connections to international terrorist organizations. These include structures linked to the so-called Islamic State and the Taliban, with a presence in conflict zones such as Syria, Iraq

and Afghanistan.

A significant part of these investigations was later transferred to regional prosecutors in the 16 German federal states, considering that they did not meet the gravity threshold necessary to remain under the jurisdiction of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office. This procedure is common within the German judicial system when crimes are no longer part of the most severe threats to national security

After learning the data, MP Martin Hess said that the figures reflect a structural problem linked to the migration policy adopted by Germany over the last decade. In particular, the legislator pointed to the decisions taken since 2015, when the country opened its borders in the context of the migratory crisis that

Europe experienced.

According to Hess, the numbers show that foreign conflicts, Islamist networks and radical structures have managed to establish themselves within German territory. In this regard, he criticized the fact that much of the political debate in Germany has focused on “right-wing extremism”, despite the fact that official statistics show that judicial investigations into serious threats to national security focus mostly on Islam

and foreign extremism.

The deputy called for a change of approach in the country's migration policy and proposed moving towards a strategy of “zero tolerance” against Islam. Among the measures mentioned are the deportation of foreign criminals or individuals considered dangerous, a stricter application of current legislation and the closing of security breaches that, he said, have allowed the expansion of

radical networks within Germany.
