Question juridique clé
Whether the creditor's claim had a sufficient connection with Switzerland for attachment under Art. 271(1)(4) LP.
Solution extraite
No. The Federal Supreme Court held that the alleged wrongful acts and the decisive result occurred abroad; the Swiss bank account was only a distribution vehicle and did not create the required nexus.
Motifs extraits
The lower court confused the place of damage with the place of result. The relevant fraudulent conduct took place with the payment of premiums into the London escrow account and the subsequent scheme abroad; the Geneva account merely served to redistribute proceeds.
