5.7 Switzerland

In 2020, the Liaison Prosecutor for Switzerland, Ms Tanja Bucher, opened 145 new cases at Eurojust.

In November 2020, at the request of the Swiss authorities, Eurojust coordinated an action day against large-scale piracy and copyright infringements via the illegal streaming of television series and films operating in Switzerland. A total of 11 servers, all offering illegal access to films and TV series without the consent of the rights holders and depriving legitimate businesses of over EUR 1.9 million, were taken down in France, Germany, Monaco, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Three suspects were arrested by the Swiss authorities. The website promoting the illegal service was blocked and eight bank accounts in Switzerland were seized.
