25 years of the Bern financial affair (Swiss Press Audio 2011, by Sabine Gorgé) - Swiss Press Award

Regionaljournal BE FR VS, SR DRS

In November 1985, two Bernese government councilors stumbled over the Bernese financial scandal, which had been uncovered a year earlier. The police director's Jaguar, which had been repaired at state expense, became a symbol of the Bernese cantonal government's abuse of power 25 years earlier. The regional journal speaks with contemporary witnesses and asks whether something similar would still be possible today.
