A recent investigation has uncovered a loophole allowing Afghan refugees in Germany to secretly travel back to Afghanistan, despite asylum regulations.

Afghan asylum seekers reportedly use travel agencies to book flights to Tehran, then continue to Kabul, bypassing German authorities.

This practice involves using a temporary Iranian visa, which is discarded after use, leaving no trace of the Kabul visit.

The revelation has sparked political debate, with some questioning the safety of Afghanistan and the integrity of Germany's asylum system.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has promised to investigate, while the German Police Union suggests fixing visas in passports to prevent such trips.

The issue highlights the complexity of asylum policies and the challenges in balancing security with humanitarian needs.
