Swiss prosecutors revealed on Friday in a statement that Israeli President Isaac Herzog was a target of a criminal complaint, which was filed during his stay in Davos.
"The criminal complaints will now be examined in accordance with the usual procedure," the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office (BA) shared, adding that it has been in touch with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "to examine the question of the immunity of the person concerned."
Herzog's spokesperson told The Times of Israel that "the president participated in the World Economic Forum as planned and represented the position of the State of Israel and the importance and justness of the struggle to secure the release of the hostages," dismissing the complaint. Meanwhile, AFP, which saw the complaint, said that the parties involved requested the establishment of "in-depth criminal proceedings" in Switzerland against Herzof for "genocide and crimes against humanity."
