By a judgment which became final on 19   November   2021, the applicant was convicted, notably, of robbery, and attempt thereof. He was sentenced to 2 years’ imprisonment, which included 306 days from a previous conviction. Moreover, he was expelled from Denmark with a life-long ban on returning. 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 has stayed legally in Denmark since 2003, and was sentenced to 2 years’ imprisonment, would the order to expel him from the country with a permanent re-entry ban be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Abdi v.   Denmark , no.   41643/19, 14 September 2021)?
