Germany could significantly expand deportation flights for Afghan nationals convicted of crimes, APA reports citing German media outlet Bild am Sonntag.
The report said German authorities are considering increasing charter deportation flights to Afghanistan to as many as three per month following technical-level discussions between representatives of Germany’s Interior Ministry and Taliban.
According to the report, at least 100 Afghan nationals with deportation orders are currently being held in prisons or immigration detention facilities in Germany.
In addition to charter flights, deportations on regular commercial flights would continue, the report said.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told Bild am Sonntag that deportations of convicted offenders to Afghanistan would be carried out “regularly and reliably.”
“Anyone who abuses our protection and commits serious crimes here must seek their future in their home country,” Dobrindt said. “Our society has a legitimate interest in ensuring that criminals leave our country.”
