In Germany, it is possible to monitor endangering by means of electronic ankle shackles, which allows law. However, this option is seldom used, as Süddeutsche Zeitung, NDR and WDR report. Thus, more than 700 Islamist endangerers are currently in Germany. An electronic anklet does not carry a single.

According to government information, 705 Islamist people are at risk in Germany, who are expected to commit a stop, as newspaper writes. In addition, anor 428 people are listed who are considered to be so-called relevant persons in Islamist spectrum – all without electronic anklet. In contrast to Süddeutsche Zeitung, a spokeswoman of Federal Criminal Office stated that this measure had not yet been "applied for or carried out". The actual monitoring of Gefährdern is mainly responsibility of countries.

At beginning of 2017, federal Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) and federal designated Heiko Maas (SPD) decided that BKA would be able to monitor Islamist endangering in future with a anklet. In Bundestag, de Maizière had described this decision as something "great for security of citizens". The law has been in force since 9 July.

Experts doubt sense of anklet

Now Federal Ministry has declared that newspaper continues to write that BKA law should serve federal states in particular as a blueprint for ir own regulations: "Anor objective of regulation was and is refore to be a model for corresponding country regulations", The Ministry thus shared. At request of newspaper, all countries had confirmed plan to provide a legal basis for monitoring with ankle shackles. However, this plan was only implemented in Bavaria, where a new police law has been in place since August of this year.

According to German newspaper, federal President of Union of Police, Oliver Malchow, considers that an electronic anklet is only a condition for danger: In end, no defined zones could be identified, which could not be allowed to enter threat. Unlike a stalker. The Lower Saxon interior Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) was also sceptical about anklet possibilities and stressed to newspaper that often a concealed observation could be more targeted means. Pistorius was thus annoyed by "hype that is being made in Berlin".

Perpetrators who have already been convicted can be monitored with an electronic anklet since 2011. In total, 88 people currently have such a device.
