Sudan-born man charged with two alleged visa breaches

A Sudanese-born man is set to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today (Monday, 19 August, 2024) charged with allegedly failing to comply with his visa-mandated curfew conditions.

The AFP charged the man, 36, yesterday (18 August, 2024) after he was arrested in Brisbane.

It will be alleged the man breached the conditions of his Commonwealth visa 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).

These offences carry a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment for each offence.
