The British company Serco, the largest private operator of refugee accommodations in Germany, is under fire for poor conditions and high profits at the expense of refugees. Internal documents reveal profit margins exceeding 45% in some facilities, prompting concerns over inadequate staffing and care. Numerous contracts have been terminated due to serious deficiencies, highlighting a troubling reliance on for-profit entities in refugee management. Experts argue that this model could divert funds away from essential services, exacerbating the struggles faced by asylum seekers. Calls are increasing for a shift back to experienced, nonprofit providers.
