Germany: Somali pirates hijacked a German ship a few years ago. Now they live on social assistance in Germany. Not even criminal pirates are deported from the madhouse!
Hamburg - The pirates arrived on Easter Sunday at lunchtime.
With two speedboats they hunted about 500 nautical miles off the coast of Somalia to the German freighter "Taipan" and opened fire from rocket launchers and Kalashnikovs. Bullets hit the bridge, then the pirates threw their grappling hooks, captured the German ship.
The brutal raid in April 2010 was followed by a costly mega-trial in Germany: in the end, ten pirates from Somalia in Hamburg were sentenced to prison terms of between two and seven years.
It was the first pirate trial in Germany for over 600 years.
Meanwhile, all pirates are free again - and five of them live in Hamburg! They receive social benefits, send their children to the day-care center, receive German-language courses from the state, according to WELT am SONNTAG (WamS).
HOW CAN THAT BE?
