On August 28, 2025, a 29-year-old Turkish national was arrested at Frankfurt Airport by the Federal Police. The arrest was in response to an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Aschaffenburg.

During the search, indications were found that the 29-year-old had previously stayed in the Federal Republic illegally. A forged Turkish identity card, issued in someone else's name, was found in the possession of the suspect.

A 21-year-old Turkish woman was waiting for the suspect at the airport. She stated that she needed the ID card for a training contract. No further details about the training contract were provided in the article.
