(Deutsche Welle) German police said Saturday that they are pressing forward with deportation proceedings for a young man accused of planning a New Year’s Eve terror attack on Cologne Cathedral.
The Dortmund District Court had granted a deportation warrant for the 25-year-old man on Friday, according to a statement from the Cologne police.
Police said they would not comment further on the issue in their short statement on Saturday. Often when authorities in Germany seek a so-called deportation warrant, it means the suspect had entered German[y] illegally.
The suspect, a Tajik national, was arrested on December 31 along with three others.
