Switzerland closes inquiry into death of diplomat in Tehran
Switzerland says it has closed an investigation into the death of a senior diplomat, who died in an accident in the Iranian capital more than three years ago.
The Office of the Attorney General said in a statement that the inquiry provided a “clear picture” and that no “criminal intervention by a third party” could be proven.
The proceedings were therefore closed in early November.
On May 4, 2021, the First Secretary of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, who was a woman in her 50s, was found dead near the base of the high-rise building where she lived in the Iranian capital.
The National Rescue Service said she had “fallen from a high-rise building in Kamranieh,” a residential neighborhood north of Tehran.
The Swiss foreign ministry also confirmed at the time that the employee had died in an accident.
She was never identified by the authorities.
