Key legal question
Whether the administrative expulsion under the former Foreigners Act was proportionate despite the applicant's long residence in Switzerland and family ties.
Extracted holding
Yes. The public interest in expelling a repeated violent offender with a high risk of reoffending outweighed his private interest in remaining in Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
The applicant had been convicted repeatedly for serious offenses, including violent group conduct and weapons-related conduct. His conduct after conviction did not show sufficient insight or reliable rehabilitation, especially because he neglected the psychiatric treatment imposed as a condition of conditional release. Although he had lived most of his life in Switzerland and faced reintegration difficulties in Turkey, those interests were outweighed by the need to protect public security.
