In February 2005, a dealer arranged delivery of three technical devices from Switzerland via Kuala Lumpur to a customer in Tehran. The documents established the detour through Malaysia and the Iranian order. He said they were one locating device and two frequency-measuring devices. In August 2004, SECO had imposed a special notification requirement on him for certain exports to Iran after refusing two cable exports in 2003 and 2004. Further deliveries in 2004–2006 were included in the indictment. According to the official SECO report obtained, the devices delivered in 2005 were not on any Goods Control Act list. On 16 October 2009, the Federal Supreme Court overturned the conviction of 26 March 2009: breach of a notification requirement could not be punished as an unauthorised export of listed goods. On reconsideration in 2011, the remaining regulatory offence was time-barred. On 10 April 2012, the Federal Supreme Court also overturned a compensatory claim of 12’673.95 Swiss francs. Failure to notify alone did not establish an objectively unlawful delivery; promotion of a nuclear, biological or chemical weapons programme was not part of the charge.
