(Swiss Info) A French-Tunisian citizen who used to work as a security guard at Geneva’s main mosque has been banned from Switzerland for ten years due to his alleged links to religious fundamentalists, a Swiss court ruled on Friday, confirming an earlier decision.
The measure imposed by the Federal Office of Police in June 2017 was confirmed by the Federal Administrative Court in a ruling published on Friday.
The French-Tunisian man lived just over the border in France and worked in Switzerland from 2006-2013 as a security guard at Switzerland’s biggest mosque in the Petit-Saconnex district of Geneva.
The federal police imposed a ban as they claimed the man was in regular contact with people who had been radicalised and that he posed a threat to Switzerland. The man had appealed to the Federal Administrative Court.
