Swiss Criminal Procedure Code
(Criminal Procedure Code, CrimPC)

¹ The dir­ect­or of pro­ceed­ings may give an as­sur­ance to the per­son re­quir­ing pro­tec­tion that his or her an­onym­ity will be pre­served.

² The pub­lic pro­sec­utor shall sub­mit its as­sur­ance to the com­puls­ory meas­ures court with­in 30 days for ap­prov­al; in do­ing so, it must spe­cify all the de­tails re­quired to as­sess the leg­al­ity of the meas­ure. The de­cision of the com­puls­ory meas­ures court is fi­nal.

³ If the com­puls­ory meas­ures court de­clines to ap­prove the meas­ure, any evid­ence already ob­tained sub­ject to the as­sur­ance of an­onym­ity shall be in­ad­miss­ible.

⁴ An as­sur­ance of an­onym­ity that has been ap­proved or gran­ted is bind­ing on all crim­in­al justice au­thor­it­ies in­volved in the case.

⁵ The per­son re­quir­ing pro­tec­tion may waive the re­quire­ment of an­onym­ity at any time.

⁶ The pub­lic pro­sec­utor and the dir­ect­or of pro­ceed­ings in the court shall re­voke the as­sur­ance if there is clearly no longer a need for pro­tec­tion.
