The Court of Cassation (Italy's highest appeal court) ruled on 6 May that the expulsion of 31-year-old Moroccan Said Zarigue was illegal. As has happened to several other foreigners seeking to regularise their status, Zarigue was expelled in April 2003 while awaiting the outcome of his application for regularisation. He received a letter asking him to appear in Milan's central police office, accompanied by his employer, to ratify his employment contract and to receive a residence permit. Instead, he was held, notified that an expulsion order had been issued against him, and detained in via Corelli CPT (immigrant detention centre) for 15 days before he was expelled.
