Anwar Raslan trial: the mysterious circumstances of Raslans asylum in Germany

 During the trial in Koblenz suspicions arise why Raslan was granted asylum despite the fact that his function as an intelligence operative for the syrian regime was known to german authorities. Did german intelligence services expect informations on the syrian regime, asks Northern Germany Broadcasting NDR?:

"Despite warnings, the federal government brought a suspected Syrian chief torturer to Germany and granted him asylum without a hearing.

The Foreign Office was warned. Nevertheless, the Syrian Anwar R. got a visa for Germany in 2014 and, according to Panorama, received refugee protection and political asylum. The problem: Anwar R. was not a conventional war refugee. He previously served the Syrian regime as a senior intelligence officer. Anwar R. was the head of interrogation in the Intelligence Service Department 251, which is notorious for its torture practices and which also includes the Al-Khatib prison in Damascus.

Hunt for syrian war criminals in France

French TV has broadcasted an interesting episode of investigation program “Complément d’Enquête”.

The reporter crew managed to track Syrian war criminals who have reached European countries and applied for asylum under the pretext of being persecutes of the Assad regime.

The documentary makes reference to the three war criminals arrested in France and Germany  in February 2019.

Reference is also made to case no 3 (“Detention Center”) in this blog.

A man called Dahi Al Musalmani claims that the young man being flogged in the video to be his nephew Ahmad (see from min 6:30)

Also very interesting is the fact that Syrian war criminals can rely on a vast support network in Europe with sponsors who aid war criminals with concealment, assisting the asylum application procedure and finding accomodations.

In the case of Khalid Al Halabi from Suweida the documentary insinuates the curious fact that the Austrian intelligence services possibly facilitated the conferring of his asylum status – which was rejected by French authorities based on his background – in exchange for information on ISIS-terrorists.
