Sounds to me like the 'corruption scandal' was overblown. The department suffers from inefficient training and lax security (Meaning employees there could alter records if they wished) but there appeared to be no overt corruption, at least in so far as the investigative journalist experienced during his time there.
Maybe the journalist in this case didn't explicitly experience corruption, but there are a variety of reputable sources mentioning corruption such as this one:

The Bremen office is suspected of taking bribes to ensure that over 1,200 asylum requests were approved, despite the applicants not meeting the requirements to receive asylum.
I know this is kind of vague but that's unfortunately because there are not that many sources in english available, but I can guarantee you that it's talked about explicitly and in more detail in german media.
Indeed. It's like when I found out that a Muslim extremist isn't like a muslim Tony Hawk
Putting the Rad in Radical Islam.
