A Sudanese-born man has appeared before Brisbane Magistrates Court today (16 August, 2024) charged with allegedly failing to comply with his visa-mandated curfew conditions.
The AFP charged the man, 36, this morning (16 August, 2024), after he was arrested in Brisbane.
It was alleged the man breached the conditions of his Commonwealth visa by failing to observe his residential curfew obligations and failing to maintain his monitoring device.
The man has been charged with:
- Five counts of failing to comply with a curfew condition, contrary to section 76C(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth); and
- One count of failing to comply with electronic monitoring conditions contrary to Section 76D(3) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).
These offences carry a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment and a $93,900 fine for each offence.
The man was released on bail and will appear in court at a later date.
