Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the accused could be convicted for unlawful stay while return proceedings were still pending.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A criminal conviction was permissible because the migration authorities had taken the necessary steps for removal and the sentence would not delay return in practice.
Extrahierte Begründung
The return procedure had been pending for years with the Mongolian authorities; a three-month prison sentence would not impede voluntary return, and the authorities had already pursued the required papers. The appellate court erred in treating criminal punishment as barred merely because return proceedings were ongoing.
