Questão jurídica principal
Whether the expulsion based on a criminal conviction was proportionate under the immigration statutes
Decisão extraída
The expulsion was proportionate despite family ties in Switzerland because of the seriousness of the violent offense, the sentence imposed, and the limited integration of the appellant.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that the statutory ground for expulsion was met and that the balancing of public and private interests favored removal. The gravity of the violent crime, the three-and-a-half-year sentence, the short stay in Switzerland, and the remaining risk of violence outweighed the hardship to the family.
