The court set bail at CHF 200,000, an amount requested by the public prosecutor's office and deemed appropriate and dissuasive by the court, the compulsory measures court announced. The sum was transferred to the account of the public prosecutor's office on the same day, it added.
Instead of pre-trial detention, the compulsory measures court ordered alternative measures to counteract the risk of the accused absconding. These include a ban on leaving Swiss territory, the obligation to deposit all identity and residence documents with the public prosecutor's office, the obligation to report daily to a police station and the obligation to provide the specified security.
