#Frontex will never tow a yacht back to the open sea, and traffickers specialized on #GoldenPassport schemes are not criminalized either. They're operating worldwide and openly, under names such as “Global Citizen Solutions”, with job titles such as “boutique investment consultant”. They promise to be "focused on finding the right residency or citizenship by investment program for individuals wishing to secure their future and become global citizens."

Such companies are not organized in a mafia either, but in the prestigious "Investment Migration Council" (#IMC), which claims to be an “organization in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since 2019”.

So this news item from today sounds quite amusing:

»The EU Court of Justice agreed with the Commission, finding that such a scheme “amounts to the commercialisation of the granting of the status of national of a member state and, by extension, Union citizenship, which is incompatible with the conception of that fundamental status that stems from the EU Treaties”.«

Malta ‘golden passport’ scheme breaks the law, the EU’s top court rules.

The European Court of Justice has ruled that Malta’s “golden passport” scheme violates EU law, forcing the island to scrap the commercialisation of EU citizenship.

The Maltese scheme has implications for the entire bloc, as people who acquire Maltese citizenship enjoy the right to live and work anywhere in the bloc, and to vote in EU elections.

#Frontex wird niemals eine Yacht aufs offene Meer zurückschleppen, und "Schlepper" für den #GoldenPassport werden auch nicht kriminalisiert, sondern firmieren weltweit offen unter Namen wie "Global Citizen Solutions", mit Jobtiteln wie "boutique investment consultant", und Versprechen wie "focused on finding the right residency or citizenship by investment program for individuals wishing to secure their future and become global citizens."

Organisiert sind solche Unternehmen auch nicht im Mafiaformat, sondern im "Investment Migration Council" (#IMC), nach eigenem Bekunden "Organisation in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations since 2019".

Da klingt diese Tagesschaumeldung von heute recht amüsant:

»Die Staatsbürgerschaft müsse auf einem Verbundenheitsverhältnis zwischen Staat und Bürger beruhen, auf gegenseitigen Rechten und Pflichten und nicht bloß auf Geldzahlungen. Dieses Grundprinzip müssten alle EU-Staaten beachten.«

Golden Passport: This is what Trump wants to do; brazen, flagrantly inviting money-launderers into the United States. They think if they do this openly, its so shockingly corrupt, that we are just stunned into acceptance. Shameless motherfuckers.

Maltese ‘golden passports’: Advocate General rejects European Commission claim of ‘genuine link’ requirement for #naturalisation.

> On 21 March 2023, the European Commission brought infringement proceedings against Malta in the #ECJ for its continued refusal to end a perceived ‘#GoldenPassport’ investor #citizenship scheme whereby Maltese citizenship, and hence citizenship of the EU, could be created by naturalisation.
