A Sudanese-born man appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Friday, 23 August, 2024) charged with allegedly failing to comply with his visa-mandated curfew conditions.
The AFP charged the man, 43, on Wednesday (21 August, 2024) after he was arrested in Melbourne.
It will be alleged the man breached the conditions of his Commonwealth visa on 16 August, 2024 and 20 August, 2024 by failing to observe his residential curfew obligations.
The man has been charged with two counts of failing to comply with a curfew condition, contrary to section 76C(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
This offence carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment and a $93,900 fine.
Following a judicial review on Friday (23 August, 2024), the man’s bail was revoked and a warrant issued for his arrest.
The AFP re-arrested the man the same day. He later appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody to reappear on 18 October, 2024.
