Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Swiss Confederation was passively legitimated for damages caused after the delegation of the investigation to cantonal authorities.
Decisão extraída
The Confederation was responsible only for measures ordered or continued under federal procedural control; after delegation, continued seizure measures were attributable to the canton.
Fundamentação extraída
Jurisdiction and liability shifted to the cantonal authorities once the investigation was delegated on 1996-04-22. Federal liability remained only for detention and the seizure period before that date.
