On August 10, the appeal trial against Pierin Vincenz, the former head of Raiffeisen Group, and his co-defendants begins. The court will review the lengthy prison sentence imposed on Vincenz in 2022 and assess whether that decision was justified.

The legal disputes to be addressed today include various aspects of the case that played a role in previous proceedings. The trial, referred to as a judicial crime drama, is taking place at the Zurich Higher Court and could lead to significant new developments.
