A Sudan-born man is expected to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (26 July, 2024) charged with allegedly failing to comply with his visa-mandated curfew conditions.

The AFP arrested and charged the man, 43, today (25 July, 2024), after locating him in Melbourne.

It will be alleged the man breached a condition 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).
