He entered Denmark when he was 9 years old. By a judgment which became final on 17 December 2020, the applicant was convicted, notably, of being in possession of two rifles in a public place. He was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months’ imprisonment and expelled from Denmark with a re-entry ban for 12 years. The applicant complained that the order expelling him from Denmark was in violation of Article 8 of the Convention. QUESTION TO THE PARTIES Having regard, in particular, to the fact that the applicant was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months’ imprisonment, would the order to expel him from the country with a 12-year re-entry ban be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Abdi v. Denmark , no. 41643/19, 14 September 2021 and Veljkovic-Jukic v. Switzerland , no. 59534/14, 21 July 2020)?
