Note that the recent case involved a crime in France.

So really, it's more like 'unless you commit a crime in a country that cooperates with Switzerland and the Swiss legal system decides to hand in a request'



Their actions were illegal in Switzerland too. As much as I can criticize France's recent actions against protesters, in this case, it's the Swiss justice system that ultimately decided to comply with the request.


Yeah, I understand that it was illegal in Switzerland, and the Swiss authority was not a passive participant, but your wording 'unless you commit a crime in Switzerland' implies that the crime itself is committed in Switzerland, not that it could be an action contrary to Swiss law in any cooperating country.
