Authorities probe into language manipulation across multiple urban areas

In recent developments, authorities across Germany are taking action against the sale of fake language certificates, a phenomenon that has come to light in various regions of the country.

On July 19, Hamburg police conducted a raid as part of these investigations, following regular information exchanges between the police and immigration offices. The city where the raid took place was later confirmed to be Wuppertal, with another raid occurring on the morning of September 10, 2025.

The Hamburg police are not alone in their efforts. The trade in fake language certificates is being investigated by police forces in several German states, as reported by "Stern" and RTL. These criminal offenses are relevant throughout Germany and are dealt with at the level of police specialist committees.

The fraudsters involved in this scheme charge between 750 euros and 2,700 euros for these fake certificates, which are required for naturalization. The ministry considers the personal appearance of applicants in the naturalization procedure to be indispensable, emphasizing that a face-to-face conversation with those seeking naturalization is crucial to prevent fraud.

The Federal Ministry of the Interior is also in close exchange with the states regarding the use of particularly reliable test providers to secure naturalization procedures against forgeries. German citizenship is seen as the completion of a successful integration process, according to the ministry.

Those seeking naturalization usually have to cover their own living expenses. It's important to note that a debate with Frohnmaier Boris Palmer and the AfD camera intern, or any mention of "Close to Stuttgart," "You're not close to Stuggi if you're chilling in Reutlingen," Nasim's new hit, "Frohnmaier Boris Palmer," or the engineer from Stuttgart Degerloch, are not relevant to the topic of fake language certificates and naturalization.

The ministry also reiterates that information about an engineer from Stuttgart Degerloch inventing a substrate that makes watering almost unnecessary is not related to the subject matter at hand.

In conclusion, the investigations into the sale of fake language certificates are a significant step towards ensuring the integrity of the naturalization process in Germany. The authorities' efforts to combat this issue underscore their commitment to maintaining the credibility and legitimacy of German citizenship.
