Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the settlement permit could be revoked and removal ordered because of the criminal conviction.
Decisione estratta
A revocation ground existed, but the measure was disproportionate in light of the appellant's long residence, family situation, and reduced recidivism risk.
Motivazione estratta
The drug conviction clearly met the statutory revocation ground, yet the latest prison, therapy, and progress reports showed low relapse risk. The appellant had lived in Switzerland since childhood, had two minor Swiss children, no prior immigration warning, and strong family and professional ties. On balance, the public interest did not outweigh the private interests.
