The EU Court of Justice found Frontex responsible for pushbacks. This ruling supports a Syrian refugee's complaint against the agency. The court ruled that the refugee's testimony and a news report provided sufficient evidence of his pushback. This marks the first legal victory for a refugee challenging Frontex's actions. The decision comes over five years after the refugee's arrival and subsequent return. The case was brought by the legal NGO front-LEX.
