(3 years ago)Former President from the Swiss Parliament Chamber of Cantons and Special Investigation of the Council of Europe Dick Marty has made serious accusations against the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the Attorney General's Office about threats made to him. He, talking yesterday about “Dially Talk”, on Radio [...]
He, speaking yesterday of “Dially Talk”, on Radio SRF on Friday has voiced his revolt against institutions in question of why it took them so long to offer protection and why authorities did not immediately pursue criminals.
The “issue could have been resolved quickly,” said Marty.
According to him, the aim of criminals was to blame former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci for his murder. Marty assumes they were people with contacts in Serbian secret services, broadcasts albinfo.ch. Because Serbia feared that Thaci could not be brought to justice.
“If official Switzerland had immediately intervened with the Serbian government and told them that they knew the plans, the criminal plan would have failed”, Marty told the SRF.
But apparently they did not want to break diplomatic relations. I don't know why”.
But he says he knows that many people in the official Swiss at the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) and the Office of the Prosecutor General (BA) are not telling the truth.
BA: Contact with Serbian authorities
Responding to Keystone news agency- The SDA, the Office of the Prosecutor-General (BA), writes without addressing the charge of alleged late response: “The responsible Swiss authorities are in contact with Serbian authorities at different levels”.
Exchanges and meetings between federal criminal police from Fedpol and Serbian police authorities have been held, albinfo.ch broadcasts said Friday. These actions are “part of the measures taken”, where the exchange between Fedpol and Serbian police authorities has been made in close consultation with the Prosecutor General.
Marty was not given full protection until December 2020. At that time, the federal prosecutor had said that a <x0 threat to serious” should be assumed against Marty. Because of “contex, apparently transnational”, the issue also has a political component.
“Anyway, the threat does not come only from the Serbian side, Marty stressed about SRF”. Albanian media, even politicians, according to him, have long undergone a slander campaign against him. And that's dangerous. Because this approach can stimulate uncontrolled people”.
Marty expressed disappointment that the Swiss authorities did not tell him the truth, albinfo.ch conveys. That “was never very popular in the official Bern, in part because he wrote a report on CIA prisons, which may have ruined relations with the US”, added Marty.
