Questione giuridica chiave

Decisione estratta
Yes. Concrete indications of drug-related offending and public-order disturbance were sufficient, even though the criminal opposition was pending.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Article 74(1)(a) LEtr can rest on serious suspicions in the drug milieu; the respondent's prior police encounters, admissions, possession and sale of hashish, and lack of legal status satisfied the statutory threshold.
