The Supreme Court of the Canton of Zurich found serious procedural irregularities in the court case that led to the conviction of Pierin Vinzenz and several others, and subsequently overturned the conviction.
Winzenz, the former CEO of Raiffeisen Switzerland, was found guilty of crimes related to illegal private expenses and corporate transactions in 2022 by the Zurich District Court. He was sentenced to almost four years in prison.
Vincenz told the court that the claim for almost 200,000 Swiss francs for visiting strip clubs was primarily related to business and that the 700 Swiss francs dinner with a woman he met on the dating app Tinder was necessary because he treated her as real. real estate work.
