Scandal in the Kusel district: Eight intensive offenders cause excitement!

In the district of Kusel, a Facebook contribution of a CDU communal politician ensures considerable uncertainty among the population. This post claims that there are eight foreign criminals in the region. The information relates to data from the Rhineland-Palatinate State Criminal Police Office, which were compiled in a project for observing possible perpetrators. The contribution triggered a discussion that is mainly related to the upcoming mayor's office election campaign.

District Administrator Otto Rudbly (CDU) reacted to the excitement by publishing a message entitled "Facts instead of panic". In this explanation, Rubly pointed out that the figures submitted were misleading and not meaningful. He explained that seven cases of the eight intensive offenders have been completed for years, some even since 2021.

background of the discussion

RUBLY emphasized that the people concerned sometimes no longer live in the district of Kusel or have already been moved abroad. It was also found that the last intensive offender, which was processed by the immigration office, also no longer lives in a circle.

The district administration and the immigration office would take its duties seriously and examine all legal options. With regard to the current situation, however, there are only two foreign multi -trimmers in the district of Kusel, who are currently in prison, but are not suspected of having committed politically motivated crimes.

factual reporting is particularly important to the district administrator, especially with regard to the upcoming choice. The apparently distinguished perspectives on the crime statistics and their interpretation have led to a heated debate that goes beyond the purely factual figures.

These developments illustrate the fragile tensions that can arise when politicized information on social media is spread. Effects of such statements are often more serious and can significantly influence the feeling of security among the population.
