Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant proved French/EU nationality and could rely on the Free Movement Agreement for a residence permit
Decisione estratta
He did not prove French nationality and therefore could not invoke the Free Movement Agreement for a residence permit.
Motivazione estratta
The decisive point was the absence of any valid new proof of French citizenship. The court treated the underlying documents as forged or invalid and held that fraudulent procurement gives no protected status. The burden of proving nationality lies on the person invoking it.
