Employees at the public order office in Frankfurt take cash from a Romanian Roma woman because she is said to be aggressively begging. The Roma Association talks about "theft".
Frankfurt - Roma from Vorderverein choose drastic words to express their anger. What the Frankfurter Ordnungsamt did can be described as official "theft" - and as "regulatory arbitrariness", which is obviously related to prejudice.
The association, which leads a campaign for members of the Roma minority in Frankfurt, draws attention to the case of a Roma woman from Romania who had all her money taken by the city police at the end of October. Because she was allegedly soliciting passers-by on a long-term basis, she was charged with an administrative offense and all her money was immediately confiscated "to ensure that a possible later regulatory offense can also be paid for". In the end, the woman was deprived of "the money to survive for herself and her family", criticized the association.
