Gas station robber born in Switzerland has to leave the country

The court found the plumbing fitter guilty of multiple robberies and extortion by predators, according to the verdict, which was published on Sunday. It is only in the dispositive and is therefore not yet legally binding.

In one of the four robberies, which he committed masked and armed with a soft-air pistol, he had also forced an employee to open the safe. In total, he captured around 20,000 francs.

In the questioning in court he had stated that he had used drugs and alcohol to encourage himself before the attacks. He used the money to pay the rent after a flatmate disappeared.

The prosecutor had demanded four years in prison and twelve years expulsion from the country. The accused had acted unscrupulously, his fault weighed heavily. There is no hardship case that prevents an obligatory expulsion from the country.

The defense attorney saw it differently. He spoke of a serious personal hardship. His client only knows Italy from holidays. Nobody would wait there for the trained plumbing fitter who lives with a Swiss fiancé and has brothers and parents in Switzerland.

The accused had no relevant criminal record. He also does not pose a threat to the local legal system. A partially conditional prison sentence of 30 months is appropriate for the four attacks.

An expulsion from the country would be a disaster for him, said the man in court in accent-free Swiss German. He protested that he did not act out of malice, but spoke of short-circuit actions.

He committed one of the attacks with an accomplice. The Lucerne criminal court sentenced the 22-year-old German to a conditional prison sentence of 14 months. Here there was a case of hardship and waived the mandatory expulsion from the country, contrary to the request of the public prosecutor, who had asked for ten years expulsion.
