A Chinese military museum had historic firearms purchased at auction in Germany transported through Switzerland. On 25 July 2019, customs stopped a shipment in Kreuzlingen; the weapons were handed over to the German authorities. In March 2019, Swiss export applications had been submitted for 237 weapons listed as war materiel, as well as 138 other weapons and eight accessories. The proceedings concerned the use of export applications instead of transit applications and false statements about the goods’ location. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland issued summary penalty orders against two people involved, who challenged them. On 27 November 2025, the Federal Criminal Court acquitted A. of both negligent violation of the War Materiel Act and the charge under the Goods Control Act. For B., it dismissed the War Materiel Act charges as time-barred and acquitted him of the Goods Control Act charges. The Office of the Attorney General announced an appeal but abandoned it on 2 February 2026. By decision of 4 February 2026, the Appeals Chamber confirmed that the judgment was final.
