(Swiss Info) The office of the attorney general of Switzerland has filed an appeal against the acquittal of two leaders of the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (ICCS) who had been accused of terrorist propaganda.
A third defendant has appealed against his conviction, Swiss public broadcaster RTS reported on Friday.
The attorney general decided to present an appeal to the Federal Court because the two first-instance acquittals “raise fundamental questions of criminal procedure,” according to his office.
A procedural technicality led the Federal Criminal Court to acquit Nicolas Blancho, president of the Islamic council, and its spokesman [Qaasim] Illi.
