Kosovo convicted of employing brother with false Slovenia passport

Switzerland's Federal Court has condemned a company manager after he in his company had illegally employed his brother, writes Badenertagblat.ch.

The event occurred in Badden County, Canton Aargau. In this case it was interesting according to the court that he was never asked about changing citizenship from Kosovo to Slovenian. However, authorities later discovered that his Slovenian documents had been forged.

The head of the company who had hired the brother was asked if in such a close family report he should have been interested in his brother's status, he answered briefly: no, the albinfo.ch broadcasts. But the Federal Court did not trust him and therefore sentenced him on bail to a fine of 64 daily units out of 50 francs. With that ruling, Switzerland's highest court has confirmed the decision of the Supreme Court of Aregau Canton and the district of Badden, against which the convicted had filed complaints.

According to the Federal Court, the employer had to know at least the fact that his brother has no Slovenian state affiliation.

The latter, on the other hand, thanks to the Slovenian passport (as an EU state) had won from the Zurich Migration Office the right to stay in Switzerland, broadcasts albinfo.ch.ch. And, as it is known, such a stance allows citizens of EU countries the right to work in Switzerland.
