Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the ten-year expulsion under ANAG was proportionate despite family ties and long residence
Decisione estratta
The expulsion was proportionate in light of the exceptional seriousness of the drug offence and the strong public security interest; no extraordinary countervailing circumstances were shown.
Motivazione estratta
The prior conviction to 18 years' imprisonment showed very grave fault far beyond the usual threshold. The cantonal court properly weighed residence, family life, and hardship, but these factors could not outweigh the security interest. The risk of reoffending was not merely theoretical.
