  • In an email, including to the “Tages-Anzeiger”, it was said that an explosive device had been planted in the courthouse and would explode in the afternoon.
  • There was also talk of a red marking: The higher court confirmed that there was a paint attack on the building facade at the weekend.
  • The building was evacuated and the Zurich cantonal and city police were on site.

According to the “Tages-Anzeiger”, the threatening message said: “At the weekend we put a red mark on the High Court of the Canton of Zurich. We have now brought an explosive device to the High Court of the Canton of Zurich. It will explode in the afternoon.”

This was sent to various media companies shortly before noon. The police confirmed this. The email was sent from a presumably German email address. It is currently unclear who could be behind the letter.

According to the “Tages-Anzeiger”, the city and cantonal police were also informed after several media inquiries. The high court was evacuated around 1:20 p.m. The area was cordoned off over a large area. According to the cantonal police, specialists then searched the building and the operation was ended at around 4:45 p.m. There was no particularly important court case scheduled at the High Court at that time.
