The trial concerned an alleged corruption affair in the watch industry that allegedly took place within the Swatch Group between 2006 and 2015. In 2022, the district court in La Chaux-de-Fonds NE acquitted the defendants of the charge of mismanagement after a lengthy trial that was postponed several times.
