The data subject was sentenced to a prison sentence, a fine of ten thousand euros and the lifelong expulsion from the country for the acts of importation, transportation and possession of narcotic substances into Greek territory. Another Court decision accepted objections of the data subject regarding his judicial deportation and annulled this part of decision. The Hellenic DPA, took into account that the registration of the data subject in the List of Inadmissible Third Country Nationals happened because of the judicial expulsion. Also the DPA considered the fact that the judgment imposing the deportation has been annulled. Thus, the DPA decided that the registration needs to be automatically ceased according to the provisions of the immigration legislation.
