Russian authorities investigated a delivery of 128 plates of cast aluminium alloy 6061 from Russia to an Israeli arms-industry company. The delivery was allegedly handled through a foreign trade contract with a Swiss limited liability company. In the mutual legal assistance request of 20 November 2019, the Russian accused was alleged to have failed to obtain the export licence required in Russia. On 13 February 2020, SECO classified the specified plates as dual-use goods requiring a licence. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland had the Swiss company’s managing director questioned as a witness and authorised transfer of his interview record in 2021. The Federal Criminal Court overturned that decision on 13 May 2022 and refused Russia legal assistance because of the changed human rights situation following the attack on Ukraine.
