Within a few weeks, several underage girls from the local drug scene of the Tyrolean state capital died. Three girls, aged 13, 14 and 16, alone lost their lives due to suspected overdoses. These tragedies, which have occurred since the end of February 2026, shine a glaring light on systematic exploitation structures that specifically drive young girls into addiction and sexual violence.
Klaus Kapelari, medical director of the Competence Center for the Protection of Violence, explains:
“First the victims receive drugs cheaply, then relevant photos are required for this.” In the further consequence, it goes even further: If the girls can no longer finance their increasing consumption, they must provide sexual favors.
It didn’t start in Innsbruck.
Similar cases had already accumulated in Vienna in 2025. According to media reports, seven people under the age of 18 who were in the care of child and youth welfare (MA 11) died from the consequences of drug abuse. Belinda Plattner, the head of the Children’s and Adolescent Psychiatry Salzburg, warned: “The girls say that they are approached at Salzburg Central Station by Arab-born young men who offer them drugs and promise them even more drugs in Vienna.”
A familiar pattern has emerged:
Minor girls from disadvantaged backgrounds are specifically attracted to free drugs, made dependent and then sexually exploited – often by groups. This approach is very similar to that of the so-called grooming gangs in the UK, which systematically abused thousands of girls for years and have long been downplayed by the authorities.
The liberal establishment covers up this phenomenon because it could galvanize resistance to the displacement of the native population by colonists Moonbattery
The 29-year-old Turkish national Mert K. has been sentenced to six years for grievous bodily harm resulting in death, after attacking elderly German man Friedrich K. over dirt under a washing machine in the laundry room of their apartment building.
The accused and his family were reportedly set to move from the building, where they had lived for over a year and where there had been frequent arguments with Friedrich K.
According to prosecutor Sven Reiss, “the defendant suddenly struck the victim with full force – presumably with his fist – in the right jaw area” after an argument broke out over a layer of dirt under one of the machines.
Although an article in Bild from March mentions no nationality of the accused, one social media account has reported that he is a Turkish citizen. Furthermore, Mert is a popular name for males in Turkey.
The incident took place last September, when Mert K. punched his 78-year-old neighbor while doing laundry in their building in Stuttgart. Apparently, an argument had broken out over dirt under one of the machines. Friedrich K. fell to the ground with severe head injuries. The retiree died 12 days later in the hospital.
The Turkish man is reported to have had 11 prior convictions on his record, including four assault charges. When he attacked Friedrich K., he was reportedly on probation and had failed to attend his court-ordered anti-aggression course and educational counseling sessions.
Mert K. defended his actions, telling the court that he was only acting in self-defense, a story that the judge rejected.
Friedrich K. was found on the ground with a severe head injury by witnesses, after which Mert K. allegedly fled. Emergency services were called and took the elderly neighbor to the hospital where he succumbed to his injury less than two weeks later.
London is preparing for one of the largest and most complex policing operations in recent years as tens of thousands are expected to attend two major demonstrations taking place on the same day in the capital.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that live facial recognition (LFR) technology will be deployed at a rally organised by Tommy Robinson, but not at a nearby pro-Palestinian march marking Nakba Day, which commemorates Palestinian displacement and loss during the creation of Israel and the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. The decision has prompted criticism and fuelled claims of “two-tier policing” from political figures and commentators.
The ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally, led by Robinson, is expected to attract up to 50,000 people. On the same day, a separate pro-Palestinian demonstration is forecast to draw around 30,000 participants. Police said the use of LFR at the Robinson rally follows intelligence suggesting a potential threat to public safety from some attendees.
The technology works by linking live camera feeds to a watchlist of wanted individuals. Facial images are converted into biometric data and compared in real time, with alerts sent to officers if a match is identified. Authorities stressed that the system will not be used within protest routes, assembly points or rally sites themselves, but in surrounding areas in the London borough of Camden.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman described the operation as “unprecedented in recent years” and said it would involve “the most assertive use of our policing powers.” He added that significant resources would be deployed to keep rival groups apart and ensure public safety, noting that routes and locations had been carefully planned to minimise the risk of intimidation between opposing sides.
The policing effort will cost approximately £4.5 million (€5 million) and include around 4,000 officers, with 660 drafted in from forces across England and Wales. Specialist units such as mounted police, dog teams, traffic officers and aerial support will be deployed, alongside armoured vehicles known as SandCats, which will be used for the first time and kept on standby.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp stated: “LFR is a powerful tool for catching wanted criminals. It should only be used for this purpose and in all relevant settings.
“In previous years, Nakba Day protests have included expressions of support for banned terrorist organisations such as Hamas, which is a criminal offence. This must be stopped and dealt with to avoid accusations of two-tier policing.”
The policing measures have drawn political criticism. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said: “The Unite the Kingdom rally on Saturday should be treated no differently to the pro-Palestinian march on the same day. The fact that two-tier justice is being applied against patriotic Brits is disgraceful.”
Further controversy has arisen after the UK government barred several foreign activists from entering the country ahead of the rally. Among those affected are Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński, Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek, Spanish influencer Ada Lluch, and U.S.-based Joey Mannarino. Authorities said their presence was “not considered conducive to the public good,” citing concerns over public order and previous activities.
With an FA Cup Final also taking place at Wembley on the same day, officials warned that the combination of large crowds and heightened tensions significantly increases the risk of disorder.
French football captain Kylian Mbappé has clashed publicly with Rassemblement National (RN) President Jordan Bardella after the Real Madrid striker renewed his criticism of the right-wing party in an interview with Vanity Fair.
The 27-year-old has warned about the “consequences” for France should the RN win the country’s 2027 presidential election, telling the magazine that his fame and wealth did not entitle him to keep silent on politics.
“We are citizens, and we couldn’t just sit there and tell ourselves everything is going to be fine and go play,” Mbappé said in the interview, published on May 12, 2026, around a month before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “We truly try to fight this idea that a footballer should shut up and play.”
The Real Madrid forward, who is from a working-class Parisian suburb, said he knew “what consequences it can have” for France if “people like them come to power”, according to comments cited by The Guardian.
Bardella, the 30-year-old RN President and the party’s likely presidential candidate, hit back on social media platform X with a sarcastic jab at the player’s recent career path.
“And I know what happens when Kylian Mbappé leaves PSG: the club wins the Champions League!” he wrote, in a reference to Paris Saint-Germain securing its historic title in 2025 after Mbappé’s departure to Madrid.
In separate comments reported by French media, Bardella took aim at the footballer’s wealth, saying it was “embarrassing to see deep-pocketed athletes give lessons to people who can no longer make ends meet, who no longer feel safe”.
Marine Le Pen, the longtime RN leader who has been barred from holding public office for five years following a March 2025 conviction in a fake jobs case, also dismissed Mbappé’s influence in a separate interview with RTL radio.
“Frankly, I think football fans are free enough to know who to vote for without being influenced by Mbappé,” she said.
RN spokesman and MP Julien Odoul argued that, as the captain of Les Bleus, Mbappé had a duty to represent the entire nation – including the millions who vote for the RN – rather than acting as a partisan activist.
The exchange has come as Bardella and the RN continue to lead national polling ahead of the 2027 contest. A November 2025 Odoxa survey put Bardella ahead of all tested rivals in second-round matchups, including former prime ministers Gabriel Attal and Édouard Philippe, France Unbowed (LFI) leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the moderate left politician Raphaël Glucksmann.
A March 2026 poll by Toluna–Harris Interactive placed the RN President at around 35 to 36 per cent across first-round scenarios, while Glucksmann trailed at about 14 per cent.
Le Pen, who is appealing her conviction, has said Bardella would be the RN’s candidate should her ban be upheld.
A trans-identified man from Germany has lost a final appeal of his conviction following the repeated sexual abuse of his daughter as a young girl. The 53-year-old man, originally of the German town of Witten, was contesting a sentence of just 22 months probation.
The man, who has not been named by German media, was first convicted in 2022 for sexually abusing his daughter, who had been placed in his care in 2013 when she was just 11 years old following his separation from his wife.
Over the course of the next four years, the girl was subjected to extreme sexual depravity. Her father began exposing himself to her by walking naked around the house, showing her sex toys, telling her his sexual fantasies, and masturbating in front of her. He also encouraged her to masturbate in front of him.
Paranoid that she would expose his abuse, the man placed the girl under strict surveillance. He set up security cameras in the house and created fake social media accounts to contact teachers and other trusted adults the girl had in her life in order to fabricate stories that would explain away any “unusual” or “liberal” behavior that the girl may display as a result of the abuse.
During the original case, the defendant repeatedly denied the allegations, but was ultimately convicted of the abuse of a child and a person entrusted to his care.
Despite the severity of the crime, the incestuous pedophile was only handed a two-year prison sentence without probation. However, the verdict was overturned after the Federal Court of Justice ordered a retrial due to mishandling of some case evidence. Less than a month before the retrial began in February of last year, the defendant, who claimed to be “intersex,” legally changed his gender registration to “female” and changed his first name.
On March 19, 2025, the defendant was once again convicted after a retrial. But because the retrial had followed a successful appeal, the sentence could not exceed the original punishment under German law.
His sentence was then reduced to 22-months probation, along with a €3,000 fine to be sent to a charitable organization, and restrictions on supervising minors at youth-related events. According to reports, this final restriction was imposed because the defendant had had repeated “professional” contact with minors.
Most notably, because he changed his legal sex prior to the retrial, German media highlighted that he had been convicted “as a woman” despite some of his crimes falling under sex-specific statutes which require the perpetrator be male.
Some German media outlets reported that a “woman” had sexually abused her daughter “as a father.“
Despite the new sentence involving no jail time at all, the man was unsatisfied and again attempted to launch an appeal to fully overturn his conviction. But the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe has rejected the appeal, making the previous ruling final. The man is no longer allowed to file any further appeals.
Notably, his name and legal gender change took place only a few months after Germany’s radical Self-Determination Act came into force in November 2024. Known as the SBGG, the Act established ‘gender identity’ as a protected characteristic and greatly relaxed the process behind changing legal documents through self-identification.
Supported by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party coalition and promoted and supported by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the SBGG also created the potential for citizens to be fined up to €10,000 (approx. $10,800 USD) for revealing a person’s given name and birth sex without their permission – an action that trans activists staunchly oppose and refer to as ‘deadnaming.’
For male convicts already in prison by the time the act was passed in April of 2025, multiple German states began transferring even violent convicted criminals to female prisons if they began identifying as transgender.

A Muslim NHS worker could receive a £25,000 payout after trans women were allowed into single-sex toilets at her workplace.
Lawyers for the woman have said she could receive up to £25,000 in compensation – for “discrimination” at work.
The employee, anonymised in an employment tribunal ruling, sued bosses over claims she suffered discrimination and harassment because of her belief that sex was a biologically defined.
Her case centred on policies adopted by NHS England in 2017, which stated that trans colleagues could use single-sex facilities after they reached “full-time presentation… in the new gender role”.
In 2022, she received an email announcing the transition of a colleague, and was asked to attend a “trans awareness session”.
She then complained formally and argued the policy, which allowed trans women to use single-sex showers and toilets, indirectly discriminated against women generally, Muslim women specifically, and women with post-traumatic stress disorder.
The employment tribunal had upheld the women’s claim, ruling the NHS England failed to demonstrate its trans policy was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
Despite NHS England having sought advice from external bodies including Stonewall, Unison and other trade unions, the tribunal said “reliance on contemporaneous guidance or good practice advice cannot justify an incorrect interpretation of the law”.
“Employers must seek their own legal advice and ensure that they are applying the law correctly,” the tribunal added in its findings.
The tribunal added there was no express legal right for a trans person to use the single-sex facilities.
NHS England should have considered alternative measures, such as gender-neutral toilets and the installation of a lock to make a private shower, the tribunal added.
The tribunal also reinforced that the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Equality Act refers to biological sex “is not limited to events that take place after the Supreme Court’s decision”.
The lawyers added the decision reinforced the 2025 Supreme Court ruling which ruled that in equality legislation, sex is defined at birth.
The Scottish Feminist Network said in response to the ruling: “Another Employment Tribunal win for a woman expecting access to single-sex facilities. In England. It’s noticeable that the decisions are in the opposite direction for women in Scotland.
“Hopefully, the Scottish appeals can point to these judgments and expect consistency.”
And the Women’s Rights Network said: “This is great news for women who work in the NHS. It’s time that NHS England and the devolved NHS to ensure the law is obeyed by ALL hospitals and NHS organisations.”
Solicitors at the firm Didlaw, who represented the complainant, said the Leeds tribunal ruling should pressure ministers to publish guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which had been “inexplicably and unjustifiably delayed”.
Bridget Phillipson, Minister for Women and Equalities, told MPs in April: “This Government has always supported the protection of single-sex spaces based on biological sex.
“The Supreme Court’s ruling last year brought clarity for women and service providers such as hospitals and refuges, and made clear that protections for trans people remain in the Equality Act.”
She added the Government was taking “urgent action” to ensure the guidance would be updated “as soon as practicable after the election period”.
NHS England is set to be abolished by the Government as announced in the King’s Speech.
An appeals court has ordered Italy to recognize a German adoption that gives a 4-year-old child one mother and two “fathers” as his legal parents, the first such ruling of its kind in Italy.
On May 12, Italy’s Court of Appeal in Bari made public a decree ruled on January 21, 2026, according to which a German adoption involving a child born to a woman and later adopted by the “husband” of the biological father must be recognized under Italian law.
“It is a ruling that grants protection to new forms of shared parenthood, which is not in conflict either with Italian law or with the superior interest of the child,” attorney Pasqua Manfredi said in comments reported by the Italian press.
The child was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on December 17, 2021, to a woman described in court documents as a longtime friend of a same-sex male “couple” who had been together for more than a decade and “married” in Germany since 2019. The boy was initially registered as the child of the biological mother and biological father, but, in late 2022, a Berlin court approved adoption by the father’s “husband” under German law.
In October 2024, the men asked an Italian municipality in Apulia, southern Italy, to register the German adoption order, because the biological father is registered as an Italian citizen abroad. Local authorities refused, arguing that the circumstances indicated a possible “secret surrogacy,” which is prohibited under both Italian and German law. Court records show that municipal officials claimed there remained “legitimate suspicion” that the child had been carried “on behalf of intended parents,” which is to say, via a surrogate.
The appellate judges rejected that argument after reviewing German judicial and social service documents. According to the ruling, Berlin social workers visited the family home on October 10, 2022, and reported that “both men had exercised parental responsibility since the child’s birth and had provided daily care, assistance, and education.” The judges also stated that the biological mother consented to the adoption and maintained regular contact with the child and the two men who were effectively raising him.
The judges further noted that the child continued to see his mother and maternal siblings and that relations between the two households were described as “warm and affectionate.” German social workers also observed what they called the child’s “serenity” and described the conduct of both the father and his “husband” as “attentive and appropriate.”
The decision relied in part on previous Italian Supreme Court rulings concerning the recognition of foreign family-law judgments. The appellate court cited precedents establishing that foreign adoptions involving same-sex “couples” may be recognized in Italy, provided that no surrogacy agreement existed and that the recognition “does not violate international public order.”
Italy is gradually aligning itself with prevailing Western legal and cultural standards on family, parenthood, and bioethics, despite nominally conservative governance under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The judgment did not emerge from parliamentary legislation approved by the current government, but from the interaction of appellate courts, European legal principles, international private law, and a judiciary increasingly willing to recognize foreign family arrangements once they have already been formalized abroad. In practice, this means that even governments rhetorically opposed to progressive anthropological reforms often face structural limits when confronted with transnational legal precedents and the autonomous power of the courts.
The dynamic echoes developments previously seen in the United States and parts of western Europe, where judicial decisions gradually normalized legal categories that had initially lacked broad democratic or legislative consensus.
In Italy, courts frequently invoke constitutional principles, European jurisprudence, and the “best interests of the child” standard to justify the recognition of family arrangements created outside the country. Although Italian law prohibits surrogacy, it would be a mistake to reduce the complexity of such cases to that single aspect.
Indeed, the Italian ruling raises profound anthropological and moral concerns even apart from the surrogacy question. Classical Catholic teaching holds motherhood and fatherhood not merely as social or emotional functions, but as realities rooted in nature, sexual complementarity and gender hierarchy, and according to the procreative end of marriage.
Consequently, a child – as daily experience and observation show – instinctively perceives in the father and the mother two complementary models and functions, both essential for his or her emotional and psychological development.
The loss of this family order, understood as the stable union of a man and a woman open to life, lies at the root of many imbalances and psychological disorders that children then carry throughout their lives.
An internal report from Catalonia’s regional police force, the Mossos d’Esquadra, has shown that foreign nationals were responsible for the majority of arrests for several serious offences in the Spanish region in 2025, despite making up less than a fifth of the population.
The document found that 84.3 per cent of those arrested for theft, 73 per cent of those arrested for robbery with violence and 60.3 per cent of those arrested for sexual assault were foreigners.
Foreign residents account for around 18.7 per cent of Catalonia’s population, according to figures from Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE).
The data were released following a parliamentary question tabled by the right-wing party Vox and were not part of any routine public statistical release by the Generalitat, the regional government of Catalonia.
AFRICAN NATIONALS LEAD ARRESTS
For theft alone, the Mossos recorded 6,806 arrests of foreigners against 1,269 of Spaniards, according to the report. Within the foreign category, those from Africa formed by far the largest group, accounting for 3,145 arrests for theft, almost half the overall total.
The pattern was repeated in robbery with violence and intimidation, with 5,335 foreign nationals arrested compared with 1,968 Spaniards. Of those, 3,899 arrests involved suspects from African countries, against 778 from the Americas.
In sexual assault cases, the document recorded 1,008 arrests of foreigners against 664 of Spaniards. For homicides, including attempted homicides, foreigners accounted for 55 per cent of detentions, the report indicated.
The Mossos d’Esquadra is one of Spain’s three fully autonomous regional police forces, alongside the Basque Ertzaintza and Navarre’s Policía Foral. It has primary responsibility for general policing in Catalonia, with the national Guardia Civil and Policía Nacional retaining only specific competences such as anti-terror operations and border control.
REPORTS FROM OTHER REGIONS
The disclosure has reignited debate in Spain over the publication of crime data broken down by national origin and over the link between immigration and criminality.
The Catalan regional executive announced in November 2025 that it would move towards greater transparency on crime and nationality. Though, as of May 2026, no full public report with the level of detail contained in the leaked internal document had been issued.
Two other Spanish regions have already begun to release similar figures. In the Basque Country, in northern Spain, the regional Ertzaintza police published its first official report on the nationality of those arrested in November 2025.
It found that, between January and September 2025, 64.2 per cent of those detained were foreigners. The proportion rose to 68 per cent for sexual assaults and 77 per cent for robbery with violence.
In the autonomous community of Navarre, also in northern Spain, parliamentary pressure forced the regional Policía Foral to disclose figures showing foreign nationals had been responsible for 63 per cent of sexual offences and 73 per cent of homicides.
POLITICAL DEBATE INTENSIFIES
Vox and other opposition groups have argued that such data should be published systematically and that aggregated national statistics can conceal patterns relevant to public policy and border security.
Left-wing parties and immigrants’ rights organisations have long opposed publishing crime statistics broken down by nationality, arguing that such breakdowns can stigmatise entire immigrant communities and obscure the underlying socio-economic drivers of offending.
The release of the Catalan figures comes amid wider European tensions over immigration, with the European Union in the process of phasing in its Pact on Migration and Asylum, agreed in 2024. The framework, covering relocation, border procedures and returns, has remained a source of friction between national capitals and Brussels.
Analysts have noted that police statistics measure arrests rather than convictions and do not, on their own, establish causal relationships. Factors such as age, gender, employment status and socio-economic conditions are typically more strongly correlated with offending rates than nationality alone.
Nikita Miller said he left Germany after suffering a stabbing attack only to have the justice system completely fail him.
A migrant was awarded German citizenship after stabbing German comedian Nikita Miller five times inside the Bremen central train station in an attack that Miller nearly did not survive, according to a German media interview with Miller.
During the interview with Express newspaper, Miller conveyed disbelief that the migrant who nearly killed him not only received German citizenship but was also released the same night as the bloody stabbing attack.
“He was released that same night and now has German citizenship. The justice system is kind of strange,” said Miller.
The stabbing attack occurred on Nov. 11, 2023, but Miller has opened up about the attack since then, including an interview with German public news outlet SWR.

“Nothing has been done so far. The perpetrator was released the same night with the statement: ‘He no longer poses any danger,’” Miller told SWR.
During the interview, Miller describes the incredible logic deployed by the German justice system, which argued that since Miller did not die, it was not attempted murder. Miller told the court that he only survived because he successfully fought back during the random attack. The suspect’s charge was dropped to the less serious charge of bodily harm.
During the 20-second fight, Miller suffered 5 serious stab wounds, including a head stab wound that was 15 cm (6 inches) long and required 12 stitches.
“It escalated. He pulled out the blade. We’re standing on a narrow staircase, I’m trying to flip him back, throw him down the stairs. When he came to me, I could still kick at him. It was a 20-second fight and he gave up, but he got me with the knife five times in those 20 seconds. He wanted to get to my throat and got me in that area four times…and I was stabbed in the back of the head because I was still crouching,” he said during the Express interview.
The suspect’s nationality has never been released, but now he has German citizenship.
He psychologically dealt with the knife attack through therapy, but could not stand the thought of something happening to his family.
In addition, he also stated that he has left Germany due to the attack, moving from the city of Cologne to Norway, because he said he could not deal with the justice system a second time, especially if something happened to his family.
“I thought, if something happens to my wife or my family and I have to struggle with this justice system again, I won’t survive it a second time. And then I said, ‘We have to move.’”
Since his move, he said he is extremely happy.
“I always wanted to live in Scandinavia. I like this weather, unlike Germany, where it’s way too hot in summer. Twenty-five degrees is my pain threshold. After that, I pull down the roller shutters, eat ice cream, and watch mafia movies until fall begins. And the knife and justice thing accelerated that. Then, my tax statement came, and I asked myself: What am I paying taxes for if the justice system doesn’t ensure justice?” he told Express.
However, Miller is far from the only one who has expressed a desire to leave Germany as of late, with famed Youtuber “Radical Living” telling his 2 million subscribers why he was leaving Germany, which also included concerns over insecurity and mass immigration.

Miller has worked as a stage comedian since 2016 and has won the Cabaret Prize in 2023. He has made appearances on NDR Comedy Contest, “NightWash,” and on Dieter Nuhr’s show.
A suspect was arrested for a suspected sex offence at a Koblenz school. Now the prosecution is also investigating a possible accomplice.
According to the police, the 20-year-old suspect was arrested on May 4. He was therefore brought before the magistrate and is in custody. He is suspected of having committed sexual acts on an 11-year-old girl in a Koblenz school at the end of April. As the public prosecutor Koblenz confirmed at broadcaster SWR’s request, the suspect is an Afghan. Previously, the Rhein-Zeitung had reported on it.
The man is also being investigated for another alleged sex offense, the prosecutor’s office said. In addition, he had already been sentenced to a fine in a previous trial for possesing a firearm, even though he did not have a gun permit. The public prosecutor’s office is also investigating a possible accomplice. The prosecutors do not want to disclose further details in order not to jeopardize the ongoing investigation.
According to a police spokesman last week, many concerned parents from various Koblenz schools have called the police since the investigation became known. The concerns would be taken very seriously, according to the spokesman. There is no danger for students. The school in question is in contact with the police. There, a crisis team was set up, which communicates with pupils and their parents.
