I am agree with @Moritz that redirections must be done inside controllers.

But sometimes happens that some redirection would be useful if done from a local function inside a controller.

In this case a solution could be to create a custom Exception Class (RedirectException).

Here you are a link to an interesting post: https://www.trisoft.ro/blog/56-symfony-redirecting-from-outside-the-controller.

I know it's debatable, but has sense if it's used within a local function inside its Controller.

To summarize, the steps would be:

1) Create a RedirectException class

2) Create a Kernel Listener

3) Set Up the Service in the configuration service file (service.yml)

4) Throw an exception with the url to redirect when necessary.
