Moldovan Woman Arrested at Frankfurt Airport for Breaching Entry Ban
A 51-year-old Moldovan woman was arrested at Frankfurt Airport in 2023. She was wanted due to a previous conviction for illegal narcotics trading and a ban on entering the country. The woman was initially sentenced to five years in prison and deportation by the Wuppertal Regional Court in 2020.
The woman's criminal history dates back to 2020 when she was convicted for illegally trading significant amounts of narcotics in eleven cases. The prosecutor who initiated further investigations against her has not been made public. Despite her conviction and subsequent global entry ban in 2023, the woman attempted to re-enter the federal territory, leading to an investigation by federal police officers. An entry and residence ban until 2028 was imposed on her.
Upon her arrest at Frankfurt Airport, the responsible public prosecutor's office decided to waive the remaining prison sentence of 550 days and deny her entry, upholding the existing global entry ban.
The woman, who has an arrest warrant and a national ban on global entry and residence, will face further legal consequences for violating the entry ban. Her attempted re-entry has resulted in the extension of her ban until 2028, ensuring she cannot enter the federal territory during this period.
