Question juridique clé
Whether the residence permit could be revoked on the basis of a sham marriage under free-movement rules
Solution extraite
The court held that the permit could be revoked because the evidence showed a marriage entered into without a genuine intention to live as a marital community.
Motifs extraits
The court relied on a combination of indicia: initial difficulty obtaining a permit, short acquaintance, significant age difference, contradictory statements during family-reunification interviews, and especially the police home inspection showing that the wife did not appear to live there and that the apartment was set up as if only the appellant resided there.
