The criminal complaint submitted to the Office of the Attorney General includes suspected cases from several cantons from the current year for five different popular initiatives, as announced by the Federal Chancellery (FC) on Wednesday.
The FC came across the suspicious cases while checking and counting signature lists. In doing so, it found anomalies that pointed to forgeries, for example different handwriting in the case of multiple signatures by the same person.
The criminal complaint also contains fifteen indications of forgeries, which were brought to the attention of the FCh by communes and cantons and in one case by an individual.
