Heading out of Leipzig-Halle Airport: A Criminal from Rhineland-Palatinate on a One-Way Ticket to Afghanistan
In the very first deportation flight to Afghanistan following the Taliban's power play, a crooked Afghan residence from Rhineland-Palatinate was among the passengers. As affirmed by Integration Minister Katharina Binz (Greens) in Mainz, "Individuals who deserve a sanctuary will find it in Rhineland-Palatinate, but those who cause a ruckus have no business in our dwelling."
The central government has wasted no time in honoring its commitment to expedite the expulsion of criminals to Afghanistan. Rhineland-Palatinate supports the expulsion of severe offenders to Afghanistan, thereby boosting security, Binz stressed.
Notorious Convict
The Afghan immigrant kicked out from Rhineland-Palatinate is identified as a notorious offender, as per reports. He received a lengthy jail term and was legally kicked out by the immigration office beforehand.
For the first time since the Taliban hijacked power three years ago, a deportation flight from Germany to Afghanistan pushed off this morning. As per Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, 28 culprits were aboard the plane.
