Key legal question
Whether the statutory ground for expulsion under Art. 10(1)(a) ANAG was met and the measure was proportionate.
Extracted holding
The expulsion ground was fulfilled and, weighing the very serious culpability against the private interests invoked, the measure remained appropriate and proportionate.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant had been sentenced to five years' imprisonment for qualified heroin importation as a co-perpetrator, and a prior theft/fraud/forgery conviction increased the weight of her culpability. Her long residence, adult children in Switzerland, integration, language skills, and health situation did not outweigh the very strong public interest in removal.
