Arrests in Strengelbach in June 2023: The Office of the Attorney General files charges against five people
Bern, 5.12.2024 - In July 2023, the cantonal police in Strengelbach stopped four people in the canton of Aargau. Upon closer inspection, explosives were found on them and seized. The area had to be cordoned off, attracting a great deal of public attention. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) has filed an indictment with the Federal Criminal Court against the four people stopped and subsequently arrested in June 2023, as well as another accused. In particular, the OAG accuses them of explosives-related offences, presumably with the intention of blowing up cash machines in Switzerland.
