The Aargau prosecutor’s office charged a police officer with divulging the author’s knowledge in relation to the quadruple murder at Rupperswil AG. The 64-year-old chief coroner of the cantonal police had to answer to the Baden District Court on Monday.
He was charged with multiple breaches of official secrecy and multiple attempts to incite false testimony. The prosecution requested a conditional fine and a fine.
In the body for 40 years
The police officer, who has worked for the cantonal police for nearly 40 years, denied the allegations when questioned in district court. It was also clear to him that no knowledge of the perpetrator was disclosed.
The man was accused of having transmitted the secret findings of the investigation, the type of murder of the quadruple murder in Rupperswil, to two people close to him. The court acquitted the chief medical examiner on Monday night.
Did anyone hear a phone call?
The sole judge justified the acquittal by stating that the allegations had not been sufficiently proven. The defendant did not knowingly release the information. The indictment is a possible version for which there are many arguments. The same amount speaks of the defendant’s version that a telephone conversation was overheard.
It could be that someone overheard one of his phone calls at some point, the defendant said in court.
