GENEVA (AA) - Criminal complaints have been filed against Israeli President Isaac Herzog during his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Office of the Swiss Attorney General (OAG) confirmed on Friday.
"The criminal charges are now being examined in accordance with the usual procedure," the OAG said in a statement to Anadolu.
The office added that the prosecutor’s office is in contact with the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs to examine the question of the immunity of the person concerned.
It, however, did not share details regarding the complaints and who lodged them.
The complaints came at a time that Israel is facing a genocide case brought to the International Court of Justice by South Africa due to its actions in Gaza - which are repeatedly described as a "breach of international laws by the UN."
Tel Aviv, however, denies accusations of genocide by claiming that it is only trying to protect its own people.
