Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the facilitated naturalization was obtained by false statements or concealment of material facts under Art. 41 BüG
Decisione estratta
The Court held that the evidence supported the conclusion that the applicant's marital union was no longer stable when he signed the declaration, so the naturalization was fraudulently obtained.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive indicators were the extramarital relationship in Nigeria before naturalization, the birth of a child shortly thereafter, the rapid separation and divorce, and the subsequent remarriage to the child’s mother. These facts made it implausible that a genuine, stable marital community still existed at the relevant time.
