The Commission is also proposing to extend the scope of the directive to cover the whole of the European Union.

German authorities are investigating five members of the Bundeswehr (German military) for allegedly stealing goods during the evacuation mission in Afghanistan in August 2021. The investigation, led by the State Prosecutor’s Office in Kempten, focuses on soldiers from the 31st Parachute Regiment who are suspected of taking clothing items, patches, and possibly weapons from shops at the military section of Kabul International Airport. The case was initially linked to investigations into another regiment, 26th Fallschirmjägerregiment, and has now been referred to federal prosecutors for potential violations of international criminal law. While the military confirmed that video evidence was reviewed, no actions were identified that meet the definition of looting.
