根据《时代周报》（Die Zeit）的一项调查，依据土耳其长期存在的侮辱总统罪法律展开的调查，在雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安的威权统治期间大幅激增。人口走私者正提供一项非法服务，费用约为6000欧元（约合5200英镑），利用侮辱埃尔多安属刑事犯罪的法律牟利。
Investigations under the longstanding Turkish law against insulting the presidency have spiked during Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s authoritarian rule People-smugglers are offering an illegal service, which costs around €6,000 (£5,200), exploiting a law that makes insulting Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a criminal offence.
据调查，客户被要求在社交媒体上发布一条批评埃尔多安的言论，随后腐败的土耳其检察官会立案，甚至可能下令搜查其住所。
According to an investigation by Die Zeit newspaper, clients are told to post a critical message about Mr Erdoğan on social media, after which corrupt Turkish prosecutors open a case and may even order a search of their home.
调查细节随后会出现在Uyap上，这是由土耳其司法部运营的在线数据库。
Details of the investigation then appear on Uyap, the online database run by Turkey’s justice ministry.
土耳其公民可在Uyap上查阅个人档案，这使得移民能在听证会上向德国庇护官员出示疑似政治迫害的“证据”。
Turkish citizens can access their personal records on Uyap, which allows migrants to present German asylum officials with apparent evidence of political persecution at hearings.
柏林移民与难民办公室。德国在安格拉·默克尔领导下敞开大门。这种滥用行为有多普遍尚不清楚。德国移民办公室告诉《每日电讯报》（The Telegraph），无法提供相关数据。
Berlin’s office for migration and refugees. Germany threw open its doors under Angela Merkel It is unclear how widespread this abuse is. Germany’s migration office told The Telegraph that it could not provide figures.
然而，官方数据显示，德国当局对土耳其公民提出的庇护申请持怀疑态度的情况日益增加。
However, official data show that the German authorities are increasingly sceptical about asylum applications made by people from Turkey.
大约只有十分之一的土耳其庇护申请人获批，低于2020年的四分之一。
Roughly one in 10 Turkish asylum seekers have their application approved, down from one in four in 2020.
德国移民当局早已知晓有人试图利用所谓的Uyap证据欺骗他们。
German migration authorities have long been aware of attempts to trick them using purported evidence from Uyap.
不过，直到最近，这些手段主要涉及伪造的Uyap网站，而非与检察官串通。
Until recently, however, they had involved fake versions of the Uyap website rather than collusion with prosecutors.
人口走私者在TikTok和Telegram等社交媒体平台上宣传其服务，包括腐败的警方调查。
People-smugglers have advertised their service, including corrupt police investigations, on social media platforms such as TikTok and Telegram.
在柏林排队登记的移民。对来自土耳其的移民的拒签率很高。 《时代周报》联系到的一名人士表示，他愿意组织一次刑事调查、一次搜查并收取800欧元（约合680英镑）的指控费用，并承诺：“这样你到处都能获得庇护。” 但也有其他人警告说，侮辱埃尔多安先生可能会导致“严重问题”，如果申请人以后想返回土耳其的话。
Migrants queuing to be registered in Berlin. There is a high rejection rate for those from Turkey One contacted by Die Zeit offered to organise a criminal investigation, a house search and charges for €800 (£680), promising: “You’ll get asylum everywhere with that.”Others, however, warned against insulting Mr Erdoğan, saying it could lead to “serious problems” if the applicant later wanted to return to Turkey.
根据土耳其刑法第299条，侮辱总统多年来一直是犯罪。 在埃尔多安上台前，这条法律很少被使用。
Under paragraph 299 of the Turkish penal code, insulting the president has been a crime for decades. It was little used before Mr Erdoğan came to power.
然而，近年来此类案件激增。 在过去十年中，约有8万起调查是依据该条款启动的。
However, cases have surged in recent years. In the past decade, some 80,000 investigations have been opened under this paragraph of the legal code.
本月早些时候，据报道，一名来自阿拉尼亚镇的无家可归男子承认为了获得睡觉的地方而侮辱总统。
Earlier this month, a homeless man from the town of Alanya reportedly admitted insulting the president to get a place to sleep.
土耳其人是德国第三大庇护申请群体，仅次于叙利亚人和阿富汗人，自2021年以来共提交约14万份申请。
Turks are the third-largest group of asylum seekers in Germany, after Syrians and Afghans, accounting for some 140,000 applications since 2021.
高拒签率导致德国法院系统的上诉积压严重，决定可能需要数年才能作出。土耳其仍是进入欧盟的非法移民的重要中转路线。
The high rejection rate has contributed to a long backlog of appeals in the German court system, meaning a decision can take years. Turkey remains a key transit route for irregular migration into the EU.
根据2016年达成的协议，欧盟承诺向安卡拉提供数十亿欧元，以换取其努力遏制跨越东地中海前往希腊的移民流。
Under a deal struck in 2016, the EU pledged billions of euros to Ankara in return for efforts to curb the flow of migrants crossing the eastern Mediterranean to Greece.
尽管近年来数字大幅下降，仍有成千上万人每月继续尝试横渡。 今年前九个月的抵达人数下降了三分之一，去年更是出现了大幅下降。
Thousands continue to make the crossing each month, though the numbers have fallen sharply in recent years. Arrivals were down by a third in the first nine months of this year, following a further substantial decline the previous year.
柏林目前正牵头一项在欧盟之外建立“遣返中心”的倡议，针对那些庇护申请被拒的人。
Berlin is currently heading an initiative to build “return hubs” outside the EU for people whose asylum applications have been rejected.
该计划得到丹麦、奥地利等国的加入，德国认为欧盟法律的最新修改将使该计划不再被法院阻止。
Joined in the plan by Denmark, Austria and others, Germany believes that recent changes to EU law mean the plan will no longer be blocked in the courts.
