Swiss Criminal Code

¹Any per­son who as a sup­pli­er, in­ter­me­di­ary or cus­tom­er en­gages in the traf­fick­ing of a hu­man be­ing for the pur­pose of sexu­al ex­ploit­a­tion, ex­ploit­a­tion of his or her la­bour or for the pur­pose of re­mov­ing an or­gan is li­able to a cus­todi­al sen­tence or to a mon­et­ary pen­alty. The so­li­cit­ing of a per­son for these pur­poses is equi­val­ent to traf­fick­ing.

²If the vic­tim is a minor² or if the of­fend­er acts for com­mer­cial gain, the pen­alty is a cus­todi­al sen­tence of not less than one year.

³In every case, a mon­et­ary pen­alty must also be im­posed.

⁴Any per­son who com­mits the act abroad is also guilty of an of­fence. Art­icles 5 and 6 ap­ply.
