Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Criminal Court had jurisdiction over the charged preparation acts committed partly abroad
Extrahierter Entscheid
Jurisdiction existed because preparation acts are punishable even when committed abroad if the intended offence is to be committed in Switzerland; the appellant also acted in Switzerland.
Extrahierte Begründung
The foreign surveillance thesis did not affect Swiss jurisdiction. Art. 260bis Abs. 3 StGB covers foreign preparatory acts when the planned offence is to be committed in Switzerland.
