Questão jurídica principal
Whether facilitated naturalization could be annulled under Art. 41 LN for false declarations or concealment of essential facts.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The chronological sequence of marriage breakdown, separation, divorce, and rapid remarriage supported a presumption that the applicant already lacked a stable marital union when signing the joint declaration, and he failed to rebut it.
Fundamentação extraída
A facilitated naturalization may be annulled only if obtained through deceit. A separation soon after naturalization may create a factual presumption of prior lack of stable marital intention. The applicant did not make plausible any extraordinary event or lack of awareness of the couple's problems at the relevant time.
