Art. 17 Cover story

1 The Dir­ect­or of the FIS may au­thor­ise FIS em­ploy­ees to be provided with a cov­er story so that they are not re­cog­nised as be­long­ing to the FIS.

2 In con­sulta­tion with or at the re­quest of a can­ton, the Dir­ect­or may also au­thor­ise mem­bers of the can­ton­al ex­ec­ut­ive au­thor­it­ies to be provided with a cov­er story by the FIS.

3 In or­der to es­tab­lish and main­tain a cov­er story, the FIS may pro­duce or al­ter of­fi­cial doc­u­ments. The re­spons­ible fed­er­al, can­ton­al and com­mun­al au­thor­it­ies are re­quired to co­oper­ate with the FIS.

4 The Dir­ect­or of the FIS shall sub­mit a re­port each year to the Head of the DDPS on the use of cov­er stor­ies.

5 Con­ceal­ing one’s as­so­ci­ation with the FIS or a can­ton­al ex­ec­ut­ive au­thor­ity without us­ing of­fi­cial doc­u­ments pro­duced or altered for this pur­pose does not re­quire any spe­cial au­thor­isa­tion.
