"The first right-wing extremist act of violence resulting in death in a quarter of a century took place in Tuggen. Antifa research shows: A neo-Nazi scene has consolidated on the upper Lake Zurich, largely unnoticed. Violent right-wing extremism recently seemed to hardly exist in Switzerland. But now it has pushed itself back into the public consciousness: on the night of October 18th, a 27-year-old visitor to an Oi punk concert in an event hall in the Killed in Tuggen commercial zone The exact cause of death has not yet been completely clarified. The circumstances, however, are largely clear: According to the Schwyz public prosecutor, “a physical altercation between around 5 to 10 people” occurred shortly before one in the morning, “presumably because several of the people present showed the Hitler salute”...Article by Jan Jirát in the WOZ from October 29, 2026 externer Linkand more from it:

  • Further out of theArticle by Jan Jirát in the WOZ from October 29, 2026 externer Link: “... According to research by “SonntagsBlicks”, the alleged perpetrator belongs to the international neo-Nazi network Blood and Honor. (…) If the available witness statements and evidence are true, this is the first publicly known right-wing extremist act of violence resulting in death in a quarter of a century. In 2001, nineteen-year-old Marcel von Allmen was killed as an alleged traitor by his right-wing extremist “comrades” in the Bernese Oberland. (…) The extent to which the danger of neo-Nazi activity and violence has recently been underestimated is exemplified by the official assessments of the Federal Intelligence Service. The current situation report “Security Switzerland 2026” states that “compared to previous years, exponents of the violent right-wing extremist scene often appear more inconspicuous and verbally deliberate.” This brings new followers to individual groups. A threat from violent right-wing extremists remains, but “people operating outside organized right-wing extremist structures pose a greater threat than entire groups.” This assessment turned out to be wrong after the night of violence in Tuggen. (…) The danger of these neo-Nazi structures is ultimately due to the fact that they were able to operate, train and ultimately strike undisturbed and largely unnoticed.”
