About two weeks ago, I essayed a piece over a Lebanese crime boss here in Germany. The guy had been caught with enough illegal activities....that BamF (the agency handling migrants and visa-holders)....said 'enough' and deported the guy.
The guy spends a couple of weeks in Lebanon, and suddenly shows up in Bremen....asking for asylum and saying he is 'at risk' in Lebanon.
This got the Interior Ministry all pepped-up, and got public attention. They (the Interior Ministry) really needed this to go away (quick).
So the request was handled by BamF, reviewed in a record amount of time (typically, it might be 90 days, but this was stamped 'failed' in roughly five days).
The ministry had a private jet rigged up and was ready to deport him this week.
Well....yeah, it's kinda funny. BamF screwed up on the paperwork. No one says much over how (you just kinda wonder if it was an accident or intentional). So now, the BamF guys say that they are giving the guy two days to file an appeal.
What happens then? I'm guessing people will correct the original form and response, and then stamp it 'failed' again.
But this brings you to the point of wondering.....these ought to be competent folks at BamF, with significant training. They ought to have lawyers in the background and validating all the paperwork before stamped 'passed' or 'failed'. Why would they run a marginal program like this, and screw up?
The odds that the appeal might force six months of Bremen-lifestyle upon the guy and allow him to stay there.....as a crime-boss? It's a humorous thing to imagine. You would think that they'd just be better off prosecuting him on crimes charges and put him into a prison situation for a decade, but they really didn't want to even go that far.....they just wanted him out of the country.
