Key legal question
Whether the three-year expulsion under Art. 10 Abs. 1 lit. b ANAG was lawful and proportionate
Extracted holding
Yes. Persistent debt accumulation, false statements about income, and fraud justified the measure despite long residence and family ties.
Extracted reasoning
Blossal debt-making can satisfy Art. 10 Abs. 1 lit. b ANAG; the appellant ignored prior warnings, increased his debts, acted deceitfully toward enforcement and social-insurance authorities, and only made relevant repayments after the expulsion proceedings began. The private interests of his family did not outweigh the public interest in keeping him away for three years.
