How common organ harvesting crimes or killings in Germany?

I've been employed by a German team for two months. It started as a freelance gig, then they created a company, and they offered me a work visa so I could work with them in Berlin. I'm from the Middle East, and I've heard of cases where foreigners have been scammed in Syria and Iraq, and their organs have been stolen. Because of this, I'm a bit hesitant, even though the visa is legitimate. Is this kind of crime common in Germany, or am I being overly cautious?

No, this is not Katar. This is not the case at all.

I don't like people in Berlin, but that would be too much for them.

I haven't heard of this before. It seems like getting a visa in a country in the EU would be difficult and time consuming. It appears that, comparatively, it may be easier to seek asylum or refugee status in another country. It's important to remember that not all countries are as secure as Germany, and people may be coming from places where certain things that seem normal here are dangerous in their own countries. As a German, it's important to be aware of these privileges and be respectful of others.

It is unlikely that stolen organs will be implanted in Germany, as there are no professionally organized organ thieves operating in the country. However, working in a startup in Germany may still present some challenges, such as long hours and low pay. But the only thing you need to worry about when it comes to your organs is your own diet and lifestyle in Berlin!

Is this a serious question? 😂

Berlin is a great place for startups, with lots of great opportunities. Congratulations on getting a job and work visa there!

Germany is considered to be a very safe place to live. There have been no known cases of organ harvesting in the country. If you have concerns about the legitimacy of a visa, you can contact the relevant authorities to verify whether it is real. If it is, you can be sure your job is secure.

Instead of trying to find a way to do everything, focus on just one task. Concentrate on completing it, then move on to the next. This will help you be more productive and get more done.

We're not in South Sudan.

If you provide me with the name of the startup, I can verify if it is legitimate. It seems highly unlikely that they are creating this company solely to harvest organs.

It appears to be a false story.

Germany is safe, so there's no need to be paranoid. It's not China.

We are aware of only one reported crime involving organ transplants. This crime involved wealthy individuals buying a privileged spot on the national transplant list. For more information, please visit [dw.com](https://www.dw.com/en/organ-transplant-scandal-shocks-germany/a-16116631).

I'd be suspicious if they wanted you to get here without going through the official process of getting a visa. It seems unlikely that they would go to all the trouble of that just to harvest your organs.

Be cautious of employers who keep your papers and tell you not to go to the police. This is not true - if you go to the police as a person from another country, your employer will face consequences for either employing you without any papers or withholding your documents. If you're doing something artistic, it's easier to get a work visa. Other jobs may require other documents.

Getting a work visa in Germany is difficult and federal agencies will check to make sure you have filled out the necessary forms. This makes it highly unlikely that someone is trying to harvest organs illegally. Most black market organs come from other countries and those acquired in Germany are usually through kidnapping, which is also very unlikely. Therefore, while it's important to be aware of pickpocketing in Berlin, you won't have to worry about getting murdered.
