The Federal Office alleges that individual guarantees were obtained from the Italian authorities regarding the reception of the applicants in accordance with Tarakhel v Switzerland (no. 29217/12). It referred to the Circular Letter: Guarantees for vulnerable cases; family groups with minors of 8 June 2015 and an letter entitled ‘Reception Guarantees according to Tarakhel v. Switzerland’ from the Italian Ministry of Interior. The Federal Administrative Court ruled in favour of the Federal Office.

The case relates to four Syrian nationals, a father and his three underage children.
