Overview
- The Bavarian asylum and repatriation office confirmed Saturday that 38-year-old Abdulhadi B. has signed an agreement to voluntarily leave Germany and will receive a €6,000 payment to facilitate his departure.
- German authorities classify him as a Gefährder, and the Federal Criminal Police (BKA) records show he was convicted in 2018 for planning attacks, recruiting for IS and seeking bomb-making instructions, receiving a five-year, three-month sentence.
- After release he faced strict measures including an electronic ankle monitor, an internet ban, daily police check-ins and residence limits, and local reporting said police intervened repeatedly over several years.
- The LfAR told reporters the payment was chosen because round-the-clock surveillance can cost around €50,000 per month, making a one-time exit incentive both a fiscal and security calculation for the state.
- The agreement does not disclose a destination or exact travel date, and the case sits against a background of legal disputes including his challenge to deportation and a claim for €144,000 in alleged unlawful detention.
