Key legal question
Whether the ten-year expulsion under Art. 10(1)(a) ANAG was disproportionate in light of the appellant's long residence and family ties.
Extracted holding
The expulsion was proportionate because the appellant committed repeated serious offenses over many years, failed to integrate, and the public interest in removal outweighed his private and family interests.
Extracted reasoning
The court emphasized the gravity, frequency, and persistence of the crimes, the limited weight of his family relations as an adult and independent person, and the fact that even long residence does not preclude expulsion for offenses of this kind.
