Mostly True
Germany
The German Federal Police faces issues with sexual harassment, overwork, and poor working conditions, as reported by Uli Grötsch. Female employees report harassment, and disciplinary actions are sometimes taken against them after complaints. Up to 14,000 officers work at borders with inadequate facilities.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (60/100).
The claims regarding the German Federal Police facing issues with sexual harassment, overwork, and poor working conditions are supported by multiple sources. Evidence indicates that female employees report harassment, and there are systemic challenges in addressing these issues. The claim about 14,000 officers working at borders since 2015 lacks direct evidence, and the evidence provided pertains to U.S. borders, not Germany. The claim about inadequate facilities at checkpoints is supported by evidence of temporary toilets lacking proper conditions. Overall, the claims are mostly supported by the evidence, but some lack direct corroboration.
