While the German government has remained tight-lipped regarding the potential abuses in the asylum process, there was a similar case reported in 2020 involving the Swedish embassy in Islamabad.

According to reports, an unnamed man had approved at least 120 incorrect visas for Afghan nationals to work in Sweden, with the man’s activities investigated after authorities suspected in 2019 that he may have been linked to people smuggling networks.
