Belgian national removed over abhorrent child exploitation material

Australian Border Force (ABF) officers stopped the man for a baggage examination after he arrived on board a flight from Dubai holding a tourist visa.

During the examination, child exploitation material was located on the man’s mobile phone, and further images were located on his laptop computer, deemed to contravene the Customs Prohibited Import Regulations. Officers seized his phone and computer, and subsequently cancelled his visa.

The man was detained and transferred to the Brisbane Immigration Transit Accommodation until his removal from Australia on 5 December 2018.
