Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the refusal of prison leave because no close bond to a person living in Switzerland was proven was lawful.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. On the overall circumstances, a sufficient close family bond with persons living in Switzerland was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
The inmate was not required to know the concordat rule when filing the request unrepresented. After being told of the additional requirement, he named his mother-in-law and brothers-in-law. Their written statements, the long-standing family relationship, and the fact that the wife and children take the limited visits made the bond credible. The refusal therefore rested on an incorrect premise.
