Tougher prison sentences and easier revocation of nationality!

15/07/2025
In brief

The MR has secured tougher penalties for drug and arms trafficking and aggravated money laundering. Revocation of nationality is being made easier for serious offences, with possible deportation to the country of origin. The aim: to restore state authority in the face of organised crime.

Thanks to the MR, the federal government has taken a decisive step in the fight against organised crime. Last Friday, a package of strong measures was adopted, demonstrating the State's determination to strengthen security and protect young people from criminal networks.

Strong and targeted measures

Thanks to the MR, several major initiatives have been introduced:


  • Harsher penalties for drug and arms trafficking and aggravated money laundering.

  • Stronger action against the recruitment of minors by criminal networks, to protect the most vulnerable.

  • Easier revocation of nationality for criminals who commit serious offences, with possible deportation to their country of origin.

  • New obligations for judges regarding revocation of nationality in cases of terrorism.


A clear direction: restoring authority and security

These advances reflect a clear political will: to restore state authority, protect citizens and ensure that criminals are held fully accountable for their actions! The MR's actions thus form part of a drive for firmness and effectiveness in tackling the challenges posed by organised crime.
