Parlamentary Investigation of the Swiss Defense Ministry's Secret Army P-2617 Nov 1990 |
||
|
Description:
This report on the Swiss secret army P-26 illustrates how the idea of organized resistance was realized and analyzes the role of intelligence services in Swiss security policy. An excursus addresses the murder on Herber Alboth, former commander of the P-26. The report also refers to P-27, a private foreign intelligence agency funded by the government and by a special unit of Swiss army intelligence. The parliamentary fact-finding commission concludes that these clandestine units, operating outside the law and without parliamentary control, represent a danger to the democratic system and must be dissolved.
