Case C-557/17 | Staatssecretaris van Veiligheid en Justitie v Y.Z. and Others

Summary: 

Where they have been granted on the basis of falsified documents, residence permits obtained for the purpose of family reunification and long-term resident status may be withdrawn, even if the holders of such permits or status were
unaware of the fraud committed. However, as regards residence permits obtained for the purpose of family reunification, national authorities must carry out, beforehand, a case-by-case assessment of the situation of the persons concerned.
