Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the expulsion of the appellant from Switzerland was lawful and proportionate under the immigration and human-rights framework.
Decisione estratta
The expulsion was proportionate and lawful because the appellant had been convicted of serious drug trafficking, his fault was grave, and the public interest in removing him outweighed his private and family interests.
Motivazione estratta
Under Art. 10(1)(a) ANAG and the balancing required by Art. 11(3) ANAG and, if applicable, Art. 8 ECHR, the seriousness of the offense, the length of residence, and the consequences for the person and family must be weighed. Given the large-scale heroin trafficking, prior warning, limited integration, and the risk of reoffending, the cantonal authorities could maintain the expulsion.
