Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit was lawful despite the spouse being Swiss and the applicant's claim under ANAG.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was lawful because the statutory right to renewal had lapsed due to grounds for expulsion and the measure was proportionate.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 7 ANAG must be read with Art. 10 ANAG and the proportionality criteria of Art. 11(3) ANAG and Art. 16(3) ANAV; the applicant's repeated criminal conduct and debts outweighed his private and family interests, including marriage to a Swiss citizen.
