On 17 April, a military court acquitted three journalists accused of revealing military secrets for publishing in the SonntagsBlick newspaper a fax from the Egyptian Government intercepted by the Swiss intelligence agency. The fax contained information alleging the existence of secret CIA prisons in Europe. The prosecution had requested a fine of nearly 40’000 Swiss francs arguing that the journalists compromised the country’s intelligence-gathering operations.
