According to NDR and South German newspaper, office knew early on questionable processes, but only slowly tried to enlighten m. This is made up of internal e-mails.

According to report, re were already in February 2017 suggestions within authority to examine dubious cases. The responsible department head of Federal office n ordered to investigate reference. But that should have happened “silently”: he does not want “that everything is checked in detail”, it says in his e-mail.
Previously, a federal office employee recommended that cases be examined internally before re is “policy noise”. In a later e-mail, employee warned that a review could “throw a bad picture at Federal Office”, should it reach public.
Federal office rejects accusations
The bamf denied accusation that he had already known about irregularities in Bremen branch office via e-mails early on. “The administration of Federal Office has not received this mail traffic”, said a spokesman of authority in Nuremberg. Only a “Mail of origin” was sent to a responsible group leader in which ” procedure should be reviewed for revocation”.
The statement by group leader to proceed “silently” was based on an internal review of proceedings, it was said. The examination of notes was initiated immediately after a first review, spokesman said. As far as necessary, falsely issued notices were also repealed.

According to a report by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAS), an ombudsman of office in Berlin should have already received an anonymous notice in January 2016. This is what Jutta Cordt, who led office since February 2017, said in a meeting of Internal Affairs Committee of Bundestag a few weeks ago.
Furrmore, FAs reported that Cordt had already been informed in December 2017 by an internal report on problems in Bremen. However, Ministry of Interior did not receive report until 21 April 2018, two days after scandal became known. This was communicated by Federal government at request of a FDP MEP.
The bamf is currently examining thousands of cases in ten branch offices. This was shared by press office of Federal Office and reminded announcement by Jutta Cordt to examine cases from all units in which decisions taken deviated by ten percent from reference quotas.
According to equivalent searches on 18 and 19 April it had become known that a former head of Bremen branch between 2013 and 2016 should have granted at least 1,200 people asylum, although conditions for it were not given.
