Cassation Court: It cannot stop the expulsion order from being executed.
7th August 2009: An illegal immigrant can be expelled from Italy even if he/she is sustaining the family in the home country.
The Cassation Court has ruled that having a family to take care of in one’s home country doesn’t allow him/her to remain in Italy after being given an expulsion order.
The Court made the ruling in the case of an expelled Nigerian who was given an expulsion order in 2005. A Tribunal in Bergamo cleared him in 2006 because the judge considered a justified reason, his decision of not leaving Italy because of the need to cater for his family’s needs. The man didn’t have any past criminal records.
But the Cassation Court annulled the sentence saying that while the need of sustaining one’s family in his home country is a socially and humanly good gesture, it cannot stop the expulsion order from being executed.
