DAP works with private informants

The Swiss domestic news service also receives information from private individuals. As the news agency SDA reports, these are paid a maximum of CHF 2,000 per year. It is unclear how many informants are involved. There is also no employment contract. "This is not a special regulation in Switzerland," said Danièle Bersier, spokeswoman for the Federal Office of Police, in response to a report by Sonntagsblick. The regulation is legally enshrined in federal law with measures to safeguard internal security.
