Violated the speed rules, Switzerland denies citizenship to the French millionaire

Swiss authorities have rejected a French citizen's application for citizenship after he was found guilty of driving at twice the speed limit.

The decision to reject the citizenship application of the French citizen, who has lived in Switzerland for almost four decades and is the owner of luxury clinics and hotels, was taken by the Swiss Federal Administration.

According to SchengenVisaInfo.com the defendant was considered to be well-integrated and financially stable, with assets amounting to millions of francs. However, after he was caught driving at 80 km/h in a 40 km/h speed limit zone in 2017, the authorities decided to reject his naturalization application, which was submitted in 2018.

The public prosecution of Geneva also fined the French citizen, whose name is not disclosed, in July 2017.

Taking into account the criminal offense committed by the French citizen, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court decided that a person with a criminal record cannot claim "successful integration". Furthermore, the court added that citizenship cannot be granted until the probationary period has expired, Swiss Info pointed out. This means that the French citizen must soon submit a new application for citizenship.

Citizens of other countries can be granted Swiss citizenship as long as they meet certain requirements. There are two main ways through which an alien can acquire citizenship and they are simplified naturalization as well as ordinary naturalization. Simplified naturalization applies only to certain categories of persons and the decision is faster since it is made by the federal government.

On the other hand, ordinary naturalization is a more complex process, as it must go through the country's cantonal, municipal and federal authorities.

The general rule for ordinary naturalization is that a person must prove that he has been resident in Switzerland for ten years and has a permanent residence permit.

In addition to these, applicants for naturalization must also prove that they have successfully integrated into society and have knowledge of customs. Those applying for naturalization must not pose a risk to the country's security.

Procedures and requirements may vary from one canton to another. For this reason, everyone is advised to check the rules that their canton has when it comes to submitting an application.
