The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has opened an investigation into whether the militant group Hamas received financing from Switzerland.
“The criminal investigation was opened a few weeks ago, shortly before the Hamas attack in Israel,” Attorney General Stefan Blättler told SRF public radio on Saturday.
The investigation is being conducted jointly with the Federal Office of Police (Fedpol), on suspicion of financing a terrorist organisation. Blättler said he could not give more details about the case in order not to jeopardise it.
