The Attorney General is investigating several asylum seekers from The Gambia. They are believed to have been involved in torture, ill-treatment and murder in their home country as military personnel.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), together with officials from the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) Baden-Württemberg, searched the homes of seven Gambian nationals on Wednesday for information.
The men are suspected of being involved in the torture, ill-treatment and murder of opposition figures for the regime of former Gambian dictator Yahya Jammeh. The seven suspects are registed as reguees and sayed they are relativs to units of a failed coup 2014.
In December 2014, a coup that the former head of the Presidential Guard, Lamin Sanneh, is said to have organized together with other exiled Gambians. The putschists included several people living in the United States,
who were finally arrested by the United States Federal FBI in early 2015 and later sentenced to prison and fines for attempting to overthrow them. In Gambia, the Jammeh regime is said to have used brutal force against those involved and those behind it after the failed coup.
Several opposition figures were found dead weeks and months later.
It is unclear whether the suspects now being persecuted in Germany were also involved in the brutal actions against the putschists. In Germany, the Federal Prosecutor General also pursues crimes under the International Criminal Code that have been committed abroad,
such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to the principle of international law. A separate unit, "Staatsschutz25", is responsible for such investigations at the BKA in Meckenheim.
