A Pakistan-born man will appear before court in Sydney today after being charged with allegedly breaching conditions attached to his Commonwealth visa by failing to comply with electronic monitoring requirements.

The 36-year-old man was arrested in Sydney on 4 March 2026 by officers from the New South Wales Police Force and later charged by the Australian Federal Police.

Authorities allege the man failed to properly maintain an electronic monitoring device that forms part of the curfew conditions imposed under his visa.

He has been charged with one count of failing to comply with electronic monitoring conditions under section 76D(3) of the Migration Act 1958.

The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment, a fine of up to $99,000, or both.

The man is scheduled to appear before Burwood Local Court on 5 March 2026.

Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances of the alleged breach.
