Monday afternoon, the explosion of a parcel bomb injured a 12-year-old child in Grange-Canal. The victim was operated on for several hours. Shortly after the events, the Geneva prosecutor on duty went to the site with the criminal brigade. The two police dogs mobilized on site spotted the explosives. It is in particular because of the presence of these products that the procedure is handled by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Confederation.
According to the first elements of the investigation, this case is linked to another similar explosion in August in the Saint-Jean district. Common point between the two procedures: the packages would target two residents, both employed at Patek Philippe. Does anyone want to bully them? A former colleague? A competitor? For what? So far no arrests have taken place.
