Eigentlich müsste Ivo V. bis 2028 sitzen, doch er soll bald abgeschoben werden.

Overview

  • Ivo Vieira Silva, known as 18 Karat, received a six-year, three-month sentence in December 2022 for smuggling up to 17 kilograms of marijuana into Germany.
  • Dortmund’s immigration authority submitted a deportation request under §456a of the Criminal Procedure Code and expects prosecutor approval as a formality.
  • He could face forced removal to Portugal as early as mid-2026 after possible early release or at the end of his full term in September 2028, with a multi-year ban on reentry.
  • His wife, Maya Vieira Silva, has retained lawyers and launched social media campaigns to contest the deportation and highlight his good prison conduct.
  • A special leave request has been filed so that 18 Karat can attend the couple’s child’s birth in September, preventing separation from his newborn and his seriously ill mother in Dortmund.
