Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the pending criminal expulsion barred renewal of the residence permit under immigration law.
Decisione estratta
The residence permit could not be renewed while an unexecuted criminal expulsion remained in force; immigration authorities were bound by the criminal judgment.
Motivazione estratta
An expulsion order under criminal law excludes the statutory entitlement of a foreign spouse to a residence permit. The authorities cannot disregard that criminal sanction, and the applicant's marital status does not override it.
