In Zurich (Switzerland), the police pulled over a driver at the end of August. The Opel driver had stuck a portrait of Adolf Hitler on his rear window. The driver suffered no consequences. Symbols of National Socialism are not prohibited in Switzerland.
At least for the time being – because in April the National Council voted to ban extremist symbols. The Federal Council is currently working on a corresponding law.
According to the Zurich police, “an image in this form alone is currently not criminally relevant.” An offense only occurs if the image is associated with a call to hatred or violence.
