The media said that the transferred data did not include persons against whom the probe over affiliation with terrorist groups has already been launched and added that the data will be periodically updated.

On May 22, BKA said that the number of people, who are ready to conduct terror attacks in Germany has almost doubled year-on-year — it was estimated at 497, while in 2015 the BKA had classified as potential terrorists only 270 people.
