63Among the circumstances to be taken into account in assessing the existence of a danger to the community, it is also possible – even though, in general, the finding of a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the fundamental interests of society implies a propensity in the individual concerned to repeat the conduct constituting such a threat in the future – that past conduct alone may constitute such a danger (see, to that effect, judgment of 2 May 2018, K. and H.F. (Right of residence and alleged war crimes), C‑331/16 and C‑366/16, EU:C:2018:296, paragraph 56). The fact that the third-country national concerned has been convicted by a final judgment of a particularly serious crime is of particular significance, since the EU legislature specifically referred to the existence of such a conviction and that conviction may, depending on the circumstances surrounding the commission of that crime, help to establish the existence of a genuine and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of the society of the Member State concerned.
