Arrest of Brigadier Jean-Louis Jeanmaire (1976)
Jean-Louis Jeanmaire, born on March 25, 1910, and who died on January 29, 1992, was a former brigadier in the Swiss Army. Jeanmaire was arrested at Lausanne railway station on August 9, 1976. Federal authorities accused him of passing secret military documents to the Soviet intelligence service. A military court subsequently convicted him of treason on June 17, 1977, sentencing him to 18 years in prison; after about 12 years, he was released early in 1988. Until his death, Jeanmaire made several unsuccessful attempts to have the verdict reviewed and to obtain rehabilitation. (axa)
