Overview
- Green Party lawmakers Raphael Mahaim and Greta Gysin asked the attorney general to assess gifts from Swiss business leaders to President Donald Trump under Article 322 of the Swiss Penal Code.
- The attorney general’s office confirmed it has received three complaints and is reviewing them, noting that receipt does not automatically open a criminal investigation.
- Reports say the delegation presented a Rolex table clock and an engraved 1‑kilogram gold bar about 10 days before a framework agreement cut U.S. tariffs on Swiss goods from 39% to 15%.
- Executives linked to the visit included representatives of MSC, Rolex, Partners Group, Mercuria, Richemont and MKS PAMP, with some participants describing the items as diplomatic gestures.
- Sources close to the delegation say the gifts were cleared with White House ethics counsel and transferred to the Presidential Library, and Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing.
