Hadi al-Sharkat, 26, was sentenced by the Helsinki Court of Appeals to 4.5 years for aggravated rape of a child. The offence took place in August 2022 in Western Uusimaa: the mother had invited an acquaintance home, and the man attacked her 13-year-old daughter while the mother was on the balcony. The district court had given 2 years 6 months; the appeals court raised the sentence significantly. Al-Sharkat denied the acts, but both courts found the victim's account more credible. Damages: €7,000 for suffering, €2,000 for temporary harm.

Helsinki District Court convicted two young men of raping a 12-year-old child in the restrooms of the Tripla shopping centre in Pasila in February–March 2024. The victim was lured via social media and later pressured by threats into a second meeting.

The defendants claimed they had believed the victim was 16, but the court found the victim was clearly child-looking. The court regarded as particularly serious the adult's coercion of the second attack by threatening to publish a video recording.

On the night of 31 December 2015 to 1 January 2016, large groups of men sexually assaulted, robbed and in some cases raped women in several German cities — worst of all in Cologne, in the area between the central station and the cathedral. In Cologne alone about 1,200 criminal complaints were filed, roughly half concerning sexual offences (including rapes). Similar incidents were recorded in Hamburg, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf. Police and victims described the perpetrators as predominantly of Arab and North African appearance; according to the Federal Police, most identified suspects were recently arrived asylum seekers and migrants (notably from Algeria and Morocco). The events became a turning point in the German and wider European immigration debate after the 2015 migration wave and led, among other things, to a tightening of sexual-offence law (§177 StGB, 'no means no').

DW's review five years after the Cologne New Year's Eve 2015–2016 mass assaults: despite hundreds of criminal complaints, only a fraction of suspects were convicted, and few of those for sexual offences — most convictions were for theft. Identifying perpetrators in the large, chaotic crowd proved almost impossible. The article examines the lasting impact of the events on German security and immigration policy.

A Syrian whose asylum application had been rejected was arrested after a knife attack in Germany.

Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation upheld on 17 January 2025 the life sentence of Innocent Oseghale (36), a Nigerian drug dealer whose asylum application had earlier been rejected. Oseghale murdered, raped and dismembered 18-year-old Roman woman Pamela Mastropietro in January 2018 near Macerata in the Marche region — her dismembered body was found packed into two suitcases. The court rejected the defence's appeal that sought to drop the rape charge. The case triggered a revenge attack in which far-right militant Luca Traini shot and wounded six African migrants in Macerata (Traini was sentenced to 12 years in 2021).

Salim El Koudri (31), a second-generation Italian of Moroccan origin born in Bergamo province and holding an economics degree, drove a car onto a pedestrian shopping street in central Modena in May 2026, killing at least eight people, then got out armed with a knife and injured at least one more. Bologna's counter-terrorism unit investigated but found no evidence of radicalisation or links to jihadist groups; El Koudri had reportedly been treated for psychiatric problems and investigators described him as exhibiting strong mental instability. He had no prior criminal record and is charged with murder and injury. (Included here as a violent-crime case, not terrorism — authorities did not establish a terrorist motive.)
