The Federal Prosecutor’s Office (MPC) is calling for the lifting of the immunity of SVP national councilors Thomas Aeschi (ZG) and Michael Graber (VS) following a complaint filed after an altercation between the politicians and federal police officers at the Federal Palace.

The scuffle took place during the visit of the speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament on June 12. Following this visit, the MPC had received a complaint, he confirmed to Keystone-ATS on Wednesday. The National Council’s immunity committee is now examining the MPC’s request.

A positive decision would authorize the OAG to conduct criminal proceedings for impediment to perform an official act. The presumption of innocence applies. The online magazine Republik was the first to report the MPC’s request on Wednesday.
