A Swiss court has dismissed a prosecutor’s claims that a Jewish man accused of fraud posed a flight risk due to his right to return to Israel. The prosecutor argued that the man’s ability to immigrate to Israel was akin to having a second citizenship. Historians criticized this reasoning as echoing antisemitic stereotypes about double loyalty. The court mandated the reassignment of the case to a new prosecutor, stating that one’s religious identity alone cannot justify assumptions of flight risk without concrete ties to Israel.
