Tatort zweier Verbrechen an 14jährigen: In Illerkirchberg haben Asylbewerber zunächst ein Mädchen vergewaltigt und drei Jahre später ein Kind ermordet.

Overview

  • The Afghan national was convicted in 2019 for participating in the drugging and group rape of a 14-year-old girl in Illerkirchberg, Germany.
  • After serving a 26-month prison sentence, he was deported to Afghanistan in August 2024 as part of Germany's first post-Taliban takeover deportation flight.
  • The man, now in Iran, has filed legal appeals to shorten his six-year entry ban, citing his desire to reunite with his German partner and child.
  • German authorities have rejected his initial appeal, citing his classification as a 'high-risk repeat offender' and emphasizing public safety concerns.
  • The case has reignited debates in Germany over deportation policies, public safety, and the handling of convicted foreign nationals.
