EU citizens with previous convictions could be turned away at the UK border after the end of the Brexit transition period. This emerges from plans by the British Home Office that have now become known in London.
EU citizens with previous convictions could be turned away at the UK border after the end of the Brexit transition period. This emerges from plans by the British Home Office that have now become known in London.
Specifically, those citizens from the European Union who have spent more than a year in prison or who have committed a crime in the past twelve months are to be denied entry.
However, without an agreement with the EU, Great Britain could have problems checking the criminal history of EU citizens because this would require access to EU databases. This means that even those who have been sentenced to less than a year in prison could be turned away.
At the moment it has to be proven that an EU citizen poses a real threat to the general public in order to refuse entry. The British Home Secretary had recently announced new migration laws, which should also restrict the illegal entry of migrants.
