No.

(b) Which are the relevant articles/ norms/ piece of legislation regulating the aforementioned matter.

This one (which has its basis in EU law):

(2) EU citizens who have been granted a right of permanent residence, or their family members who have been granted a permanent residence card, may only be deported on serious grounds of public order or security.

From section 168 of the Aliens Act.

And that pretty much settles the question.

Thanks Betelgeuse.
