This is the story of a crazy race, in which notables, politicians and the media were drawn, fascinated by the start-up that wanted to “democratize space” through microsatellites and weightless flights. Through a press release issued on September 24, the Fribourg Public Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the epilogue of the Swiss Space Systems (S3) saga will take place before the Criminal Court of the Broye district, where Pascal Jaussi was sent for trial. Founder and CEO of the start-up created in 2012 in Payerne (VD), the man is accused in particular of misleading the justice system, fraud and unfair management.

The trial is expected to take place in 2025.
