Solution extraite
He did not prove a Swiss domicile at the relevant time; the purchase remained permit-required.
Motifs extraits
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.
