The 38-year-old Iranian migrant, Hassan A. N. has committed a massive amount of violent crimes both in Germany and France, and was able to trick authorities across Europe with his 27 different identifies, but he cannot be deported back to Iran.
This hardcore criminal set fire to the Cinemaxx theater at Krefeld main train station last year, resulting in police shooting the man. He caused only a minor fire and smoke in the theater, but it forced an evacuation and could have easily killed many theatergoers if it had not been spotted in time.
Video of police responding to the theater was widely distributed on social media. Despite being observed by security services as a potential threat, the man was still able to participate in the arson attack against the theater.

According to the refugee ministry, Hassan A. “does not have any travel documents and has not cooperated in obtaining his passport in the past.”
Iran is also working against deportations back to the country and will only accept those who “voluntarily” return.

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) January 13, 2025Police say the man first entered Germany in 2002 and was recognized as a “tolerated” migrant despite being in the country illegally. However, the man applied for asylum all over Europe, including Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, according to a report from Bild. The man also had 27 identities, which he used all over the continent.
He also lived in France for several years where he had various arrests. He committed serious crimes while there, spending four years and six months in prison starting in 2010 for previous bodily harm, attempted rape, property damage, and resisting arrest.
Despite being sentenced to “23 prison terms” in France, he still made it back into Germany, according to the NRW interior ministry.
France does not want him back either, with requests from NRW rejected “without further justification” when they attempted to pass him back to French authorities.
Instead of deporting him back to Iran, the interior ministry in the German state is now looking to send him back to France once again.
“We have already contacted the French authorities again on this matter,” the ministry stated.
