Questão jurídica principal
Whether procuring (brothel keeping) is a serious offense within Art. 45(3) BV justifying withdrawal of residence rights.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The court held that procuring, when carried out as a commercial activity, is a serious offense because it endangers public morals, regardless of Zurich's prior criminal treatment of the conduct.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on earlier federal practice, which treated offenses against public morals as serious offenses under Art. 45(3) BV and reserved an independent assessment of each case, especially where public morality and safety are affected. The local historical treatment of the offense was irrelevant.
