Key legal question
Whether the 20 September 2010 acquisition was permit-free because the appellant had Swiss residence
Extracted holding
He did not prove a Swiss domicile at the relevant time; the purchase remained permit-required.
Extracted reasoning
The formal registrations in Lugano/Cadempino did not outweigh stronger indicators that his family and personal center remained in Italy. The Court upheld the factual findings and rejected his explanations as unconvincing.
