Criminal permit rights EU ruling

The European Court of Justice has ruled that Turkish employees granted EU
residence permits through the EC-Turkey Association Agreement cannot have their
right to live and work in the European Union revoked, if found guilty of a
crime.

Judges held that such an expulsion could only take place where it could be
shown that "personal conduct is liable to be prejudicial to the public
interest again."
