'Uncooperative' migrant returned to his country of origin

He did not qualify for protection

An irregular migrant who came to Malta in 2023 and consistently failed to cooperate with the police has been deported, the police said.

The man, of asian descent, did not qualify for protection. He served a term in prison for trying to escape from the Detention Centre.

He was deported after the Immigration and Returns Unit within the Home Affairs Ministry acquired documents which made the migrant's return to the country of origin possible.

This was the second 'forced return' operation this year.
