A 'high-risk' inmate with a history of serious violence, sex and gun crimes is back behind bars after being arrested twice within weeks of his release.
Mohammed Ali Nadari, 45, was one of 148 asylum seekers released under the controversial Supreme Court ruling that ruled indefinite detention was unlawful.
The Afghan national has previously been convicted of grievous bodily harm, indecent assault and firearms offences, as well as theft, theft, drug and property offences.
But despite being one of the immigration detainees feared to pose a 'high risk', he was allowed back on the streets on November 26 following the High Court ruling.
He was arrested six days later when he was found in possession of 2 grams of cannabis. It was revealed that he was now homeless and living in a squat.
Nadari was released on bail but failed to appear at Parramatta Local Court to face the drug possession charge and was fined $300 in his absence.
He is now back in custody after being arrested again by Australian Federal Police in western Sydney on Saturday for allegedly breaching his mandatory visa curfew for two weeks.
Immigration detainees have recently been released from detention centres, including Villawood in Sydney's west
“The AFP arrested and charged the 45-year-old man on Saturday, December 30, 2023, after locating him in Merrylands, NSW,” an AFP spokesperson said.
“It will be alleged that the man breached the terms of his Commonwealth visa by failing to comply with his curfew obligations between December 15 and 28, 2023.”
Nadari has now been charged with ten counts of failing to comply with a curfew condition and faces a prison sentence of up to five years and a $93,900 fine.
He was remanded in custody and will appear in Parramatta Local Court on January 19.
His dark past came to light when he was convicted of drug possession last month.
“The suspect has an extensive criminal history, which includes, but is not limited to, intentional infliction of serious bodily harm,” according to the statement of facts presented to the court.
Nadari was jailed for up to 32 months in July 2015 for committing an indecent act against a woman, and spent 16 months in prison.
Police issued an apprehended violence warrant on behalf of the female victim.
Nadari is described in the statement of facts as one of the “high-risk” detainees released after the High Court ruled that indefinite detention was unlawful.
“The suspect has already committed a criminal offense within a week of his release,” the statement said.
'The suspect is currently unemployed and has no fixed abode. The suspect told the police that he lives on the street.'
Nadari was found on Saturday in Sheffield Street, Merrylands, where police had evicted squatters.

While police were evicting squatters from three houses on that street, Nadari allegedly entered one of the properties through a broken gate.
Police told Nadari to sit on the ground and asked him for identification. While identifying himself, Nadari took three small resealable bags from his wallet and tossed them behind him.
The bags contained green plant material that was determined to be cannabis.
Nadari, whose identification was confirmed on his Immicard, was arrested and denied knowledge of the cannabis.
The Supreme Court's November 8 ruling has now allowed the release of at least 148 non-citizens, including pedophiles, murderers and hitmen.
