Swiss open probe into spying on Turks in Switzerland

Swiss prosecutors said today they had opened an investigation into alleged spying on members of the Turkish community in Switzerland by an unspecified "intelligence service".

The Office of the Attorney General told AFP it had "concrete suspicions (of espionage) against the Turkish community in Switzerland (by) a political intelligence service," and said it had opened its probe on March 16, after receiving a green light from the Swiss government.
