Key legal question
Whether bank edition orders are coercive measures appealable to the Federal Supreme Court under Art. 33 para. 3 lit. a SGG
Extracted holding
No. A mere request to produce documents or information does not itself constitute a coercive measure; it is only a preliminary step before possible seizure or search.
Extracted reasoning
Under the consistent case law, coercive measures are serious intrusions such as detention, search, seizure or extradition detention. A production request leaves open whether any seizure will occur and which items would be affected. The same interpretation applies under the SGG, and the draft Swiss Criminal Procedure Code confirms that a summons to produce does not yet amount to coercion.
