“Convicted criminals remain free because there are no envelopes in Berlin”

The absurd reality of the German capital, comrades. For several weeks, the Berlin public prosecutor’s office was unable to send the criminals to prison. Why? In Germany, orders to begin serving a prison sentence are sent in special yellow envelopes. And there was … a shortage of them.

How could it have come to this in the first place? In March last year, the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany approved a new format for the form on the envelopes—they added a new checkbox to it. And apparently, the public prosecutor’s office had stocked up on new envelopes in time … but they were “completely used up after just two weeks.” And there has still been no new delivery—“because of the high demand from other authorities.”

Reliable German democracy—it even protects you from prison.
