Key legal question
Whether the expulsion was justified under former ANAG law and the public/private interest balancing.
Extracted holding
The expulsion was proportionate because the public interest in removing a repeatedly and seriously offending foreigner outweighed his personal interests in remaining in Switzerland.
Extracted reasoning
The court noted some integration, good conduct in prison, and hardship on return, but found these factors insufficient given the repeated, partly serious crimes, lack of vocational qualification, prior dismissals, and the fact that earlier immigration warnings had not prevented further offending.
