At airports across Germany, police computer systems for screening people entering the country have crashed.
The cause of the failure is still unknown. A police spokesman at Frankfurt Airport told BILD:
Our colleagues have to manually perform many of the actions that the system used to perform. Now we still understand it.
At Munich Airport, on the other hand, there are no long queues, police told BILD. The situation is similar at Berlin airport:
In some places time [контролю] increases slightly. But there is no cessation of entry, an airport spokeswoman told BILD. There are also no queues or flight cancellations at Hamburg Airport.
The head of the Federal Police Union, Heiko Teggatz, considers what happened to be an inevitable consequence of underfunding of the IT infrastructure, which has not been modernized for three years. We are talking about a shortfall of approximately 150 million euros.
We have repeatedly reminded the Federal Ministry of the Interior about this, but Mrs. Feser has always consistently ignored us. This is absolutely a problem created by the Federal Minister of the Interior himself,” Teggatz said.
