Over 41% of crimes committed in Germany in 2023 were done by foreigners
Might be worth asking how much of that includes immigration specific crimes. If you’ve just got a bunch of migrants getting "papers please"d at over and over again, you could see a very large number of criminal accusations that stem from a vanishingly small degree of actual harm.
Should also be noted that German labor law strictly limits which professions and businesses a migrant worker can participate in which they only recently relaxed and only for a small percentage of skilled workers. Consequently, you have a large pool of black market labor that inevitably gets routed into prohibited professions (sex work, drug mule, unlicensed street vending, shady telemarketing and other scam businesses).
So, again, it would be helpful to know if these migrant communities are actually doing violent/financial crimes or whether they’re just getting over-policed and under-employed as second class citizens.

This is a police statistic, so the crimes measured are criminal cases, not financial fraud or such. Those are not investigated by the police.
