Overview
- Authorities in Lower Franconia say the 31-year-old did not deregister with the foreigners office and his whereabouts are unknown, leading to a police listing for arrest.
- He must return to Italy, where he holds a residence permit, and he is now under an entry-and-stay ban for Germany.
- Officials warn that any unauthorized return to Germany could result in detention and transfer to Italy.
- His asylum claim in Germany was rejected in May 2024 under Dublin rules; he later received a temporary Duldung as a key witness and was awarded a bravery medal by Markus Söder.
- The regional government reports he did not take up approved work, relied on social benefits, and has multiple convictions, while recommending voluntary return and noting a possible later skilled‑worker visa if he qualifies.
