Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit violated Art. 7 ANAG despite an existing formal marriage to a Swiss citizen.
Decisione estratta
The applicant retained a formal entitlement under Art. 7 ANAG, but it was extinguished because a ground for expulsion existed and the proportionality assessment favored refusal.
Motivazione estratta
A conviction for a crime or offense constitutes an expulsion ground. Given the two-year prison sentence, the marriage being only formal, and no interest in resuming cohabitation, denial of renewal was proportionate.
