German term or phrase: Akten sind gegen ihn ergangen
From Leipzig police records, dated 1921:

"Herr Sch. hat sich durch seinen, am 16.6.20 von der Gesandschaft der ukrainischen Republik in Berlin ausgestellten Reisepaß hier ausgewiesen; gegen ihn sind die beiliegenden Akten S. 44516 ergangen."

How is the word "ergangen" used here? Does it refer to charges filed against him?

file updated with / papers issued


Explanation:
I think this is just talking about his file being updated with a new record. Can also just be papers issued especially given the context of immigration.

agree  Adrian MM.: with 'records of charges /publicly/ issued against him' e.g. 'im Namen des Volks ergeht folgendes Urteil...' // 'Extrakte aus den Akten, so in publicis (in öffentlichen Angelegenheiten) ergangen'.

disagree  Adrian MM.: A lazy answer. Akten is in the plural so not a single case file. besides which Akten *anlegen* would - even back then- have meant to open such https://www.archivportal-d.de/item/JPLXAVBSA35Z7OWJ7SKTJOTEI... // And the shrink for your big head.
