Key legal question
Whether the facilitated naturalization was obtained fraudulently under Art. 41 LN.
Extracted holding
Yes. The rapid sequence of declaration, naturalization, immediate separation, and later remarriage supported a presumption of deceit that the applicant did not rebut.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the authority may infer fraud from closely linked events suggesting the spouse never intended a stable union. The applicant failed to show an extraordinary event or ignorance of serious marital problems when signing the declaration.
