"According to financial records, we cannot provide information on how much of this money comes from social welfare benefits, nor can it be determined how this money is utilized in the countries of origin," the German bank said.

This was followed by Syria, including the Kurdish-led northeast (Rojava), which received around €520 million (approximately $572 million).

More than one million Syrian refugees have been granted asylum in Germany, with the overwhelming majority arriving during the Syrian Civil War (2011 - 2024).
