Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the annulment of facilitated naturalization under Art. 41 LN was lawful because the applicant had obtained it by false declarations or concealment of essential facts.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The annulment was lawful. The rapid sequence of events and the undisclosed family situation supported the presumption of deception, which the applicant failed to rebut.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that facilitated naturalization may be annulled only if obtained through deceitful conduct. Here, the short interval between the declaration of a stable marriage, the naturalization, the divorce, and the planned remarriage, together with the hidden out-of-wedlock child and the applicant's failure to make a plausible alternative explanation, established that the declaration of a stable union was false or at least essential facts were concealed.
