Press Release: Advocate General’s Opinion in Case C-348/09. P. I. v Oberbürgermeisterin der Stadt Remscheid

According to Advocate General Bot, a Union citizen who has lived more than ten years in the host Member State can be subject to an expulsion process where his criminal conduct endangers public security. Furthermore, the fact of having concealed, by threats or duress, criminal conduct constituting a serious disturbance of public policy can deprive the perpetrator of the protection against expulsion resulting from a prolonged stay in the host Member State.
