The Swiss defence ministry has filed a criminal complaint against unidentified individuals after leaks about the resignations of the army and intelligence chiefs.
On Tuesday, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) disclosed the resignations of army chief Thomas Süssli and the head of the Federal Intelligence Service (FIS), Christian Dussey, citing well-informed sources.
On the same day, Priska Seiler Graf, chairwoman of the Security Committee of the House of Representatives, stated that this leak likely breached official secrecy.
