National Crime Agency extradition officers arrested him and he was sent back to Germany where he is in custody awaiting trial.
Another Afghan who arrived in a small boat gave his name as Suhib Ahmadza when Border Force officials detained him.
But fingerprint analysis revealed he was 25-year-old Bashir Ahmad Bakari, who was wanted on a European arrest warrant for a knife murder in Germany.
Afghan Milad Rahimi, 25, was arrested at Kent’s Manton migrant detention centre having fled Germany following the knife murder of a 17-year-old boy
