If they are accused by the US of a crime, they could be extradited there because Switzerland has a treaty for that.
- Daviey 2y agoGood luck with that, Article 7 of the Swiss Federal Act on International Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters states that Swiss citizens may not be extradited to a foreign country without their written consent. This protection of citizens from extradition is a longstanding tradition in Swiss law.
- ranger_danger 2y agoYes but there are cases where the accused may not even be a citizen. Also Switzerland still has a provision with other countries for allowing Swiss citizens to be tried in Switzerland for crimes committed abroad.
