For the first time since the start of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the federal police have prosecuted a convicted criminal Syria deported. The Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that the man was handed over to the authorities in Damascus.
The ministry had reached an agreement with the Islamist government of Syria “that deportations of criminals and dangerous people can take place regularly in the future,” it said. According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the man had served a prison sentence in North Rhine-Westphalia for particularly serious robbery, bodily harm and extortion.
In addition, according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, another criminal has been deported to Afghanistan. He was therefore in prison in Bavaria for, among other things, intentional bodily harm. The repatriation is “the second deportation of an Afghan criminal within a week.”
