A Swiss parliamentary commission has voted to urge the government to systematically expel Russian and other spies who threaten Switzerland’s security through illegal intelligence activities
in the wealthy Alpine country, where some Russian oligarchs have been known to gravitate for its low taxes, discretion and other reasons — and where international and U.N. organizations are active, notably in Geneva.
A majority of the commission cautioned against the threats posed by such foreign spying — Russia was mentioned by name — for Swiss companies, citizens and national interests, a parliamentary statement said. Opponents, meanwhile, urged restraint in such use of expulsions as long as Swiss security wasn’t at risk, it said.
Separately, the parliamentary panel rejected by 13 votes to 10, with one abstention, a proposal for Switzerland to join the “Russian Elites, Proxies and Oligarchs” — or REPO — task force created by theas a way to crack down on Russian interests and allies of Putin over his war in Ukraine. Most of the commission lawmakers expressed the feeling that the task force was working well and a Swiss role wouldn’t bring any added value, the statement said.
