Key legal question
Whether Art. 5 aCP gave Swiss authorities jurisdiction over the foreign offense against a Swiss victim.
Extracted holding
No. The provision was not applicable because no concrete indication showed that the potential offender was in Switzerland or could be extradited there.
Extracted reasoning
Swiss extraterritorial jurisdiction under Art. 5 aCP is subsidiary and strictly construed; it requires the offender's presence in Switzerland or extradition, not merely the fact that the victim was Swiss and a homicide was alleged.
