Politically Right-Wing Motivated Crimes in the Third Quarter
The number of crimes motivated by political right-wing extremism in Germany increased significantly in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter. This is the result of the crime statistics of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).
According to the BKA, there were 2,345 politically right-wing motivated crimes between July and September 2024. This represents an increase of 12.5% compared to the previous quarter (2,085 crimes).
The most common type of politically right-wing motivated crime was propaganda offenses (1,142 cases), followed by violence offenses (387 cases) and incitement to hatred (289 cases).
The BKA also recorded a significant increase in the number of violent crimes motivated by political right-wing extremism. In the third quarter of 2024, there were 387 violent crimes, compared to 322 in the previous quarter. The most common type of violent crime was bodily harm (234 cases), followed by threats (75 cases) and attempted murder (12 cases).
The BKA’s statistics also show that the number of crimes motivated by political right-wing extremism is increasing in Germany. In the first nine months of 2024, there were 6,702 politically right-wing motivated crimes, compared to 5,730 in the same period of 2023.
The BKA’s figures are based on data from the police forces of the federal states. The BKA emphasizes that the number of politically right-wing motivated crimes is likely to be higher than the statistics show, as not all such crimes are reported to the police.
The increase in politically right-wing motivated crimes is a cause for concern. The BKA is working closely with the police forces of the federal states to combat this type of crime. The BKA is also working to raise awareness of the problem of political right-wing extremism and to encourage people to report such crimes to the police.
