On Friday (October 9th) four passengers stood in front of federal police officers at the airport. The Iraqis - father(49), mother(44) and two children(12 and 7) did not travel on a scheduled plane, but in a business jet.

On Friday afternoon, a federal police officer checked the passengers of a business jet that had arrived from Istanbul in the “General Aviation Terminal”.

The Iraqi family, diplomats according to the announcement, was allegedly en route from the Bosporus to the Caribbean island of Dominica. In Munich, only one night with a subsequent change of aircraft was planned, the handling agent informed the officials.

When checking the travelers, however, they noticed that the would-be diplomats could neither speak French nor English. The examination of the diplomatic accreditation cards of the Caribbean state St. Kitts and Nevis should then bring certainty:

They were fake. The twelve-year-old son was able to explain to the border police officer that the family was on the run. During the subsequent questioning, the parents said that they were on the run from the woman's father.

He is strictly religious and demands that the 44-year-old and the seven-year-old daughter be circumcised according to Islamic law. After the family did not comply with this request, the father-in-law threatened him and his wife, said the 49-year-old.

As a result, he sold his house, garden and restaurant in northern Iraq and fled to Turkey with his family six days ago. There they were then brought to an Istanbul airport by a Syrian smuggler against payment of around 60,000 euros.

Then the business jet went to Munich, where they wanted to ask for protection.
