Indirect Involvement

Killing by DrowningSophia → Destruction of Boats

As the official in charge of coordinating the German government's EU policy & relationship with EU institutions, Lenski served as an advisor on the European dimension of migration policy to Uwe Corsepius and likely played a role in decisions such as the German government's support for Operation Sophia and the destruction of boats. (See Germany Report A.II.)

Indirect Involvement

Refoulement by ProxyGACS/LYCG Training

Starting in 2015, the Chancellery was ground zero for German refugee policy and thus likely played a crucial role in developing German support for EU training of the LYCG. Lenski, in his capacity as adviser to Uwe Corsepius, likely played a role in articulating these policies. (See Germany Report A.II.)
