More than 130,000 migrants have 'vanished' in Germany

More than 130,00 refugees - 13 percent of the total who have arrived in Germany in the past 14 months - have vanished.

The government admitted the bizarre statistic in answer to a question posed in the Bundestag parliament on Thursday by the Left Party.

It means that they have left Germany to wander into other countries after initial registration, or they have disappeared underground.

The German government has passed a package of new and tighter laws on asylum

The numbers are calculated on accommodation slots across the country that were allocated and not taken up.

The head of Germany's migration office, Frank-Jürgen Weise, also admitted that there are currently up to 400,000 people in the country whose identities are unknown to authorities.

Germany also said it enjoys little success in sending refugees back to EU states responsible for them - the 'safe' countries they first arrived in from their homelands.

German authorities made a request to a European partner to take back refugees for one in every ten applicants. In 2014 it was one in five.
