(DPA) Five weeks after the ban on the Hamburg Islamic Centre (IZH), which was classified as extremist, its former head must now leave Germany.
The Hamburg Interior Authority issued a deportation order to 57-year-old Mohammad Hadi Mofatteh this week, a spokeswoman in Hamburg said on Thursday. She initially provided no information on whether the man is still in the country.
The letter instructs him to leave Germany within 14 days. Otherwise, he faces deportation to his country of origin, at his own expense.
According to the authority, this must happen by September 11, 2024. Additionally, he is banned from re-entering Germany or staying in the country. Should he do so, he faces up to three years in prison.
