Aschaffenburg Knife-Attack Helper Listed for Arrest After Departure Order

Officials say the 31-year-old falls under EU Dublin rules that make Italy responsible for his status.

Overview

  • Regional authorities issued an arrest listing because they cannot confirm whether the man left Germany as required at the turn of the year.
  • He holds an Italian residence permit and is subject to an entry and residence ban for Germany under the third-country decision.
  • A spokesperson warned that any unlawful return to Germany could result in detention and transfer back to Italy.
  • His assigned room in a Würzburg accommodation has been unoccupied since December 15, 2025, and he previously held a temporary toleration as a key witness.
  • He received the Christopherus medal for civic courage in May 2025, while officials also cite missed employment, reliance on benefits and prior convictions, and note a possible future skilled-worker visa if he qualifies in Italy.
