Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): German authorities on Thursday launched a preliminary investigation into eight cases of document forgery, German authorities said on Thursday.

A spokesman for the German interior ministry told Bild newspaper that preliminary investigations had begun into the newly arrived migrants, focusing on the possibility of using forged documents in the process of entering Germany.
