Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the settlement permit could be revoked despite long residence in Switzerland
Decisione estratta
Yes. A settlement permit may be revoked even after more than 15 years of lawful residence if the foreign national was sentenced to a long-term prison term.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 63(2) in conjunction with Art. 62(b) AuG applies because the 8.5-year sentence clearly qualifies as a long-term custodial sentence.
