A few weeks before the Global Peace Summit, an employee of the Russian Embassy in Switzerland tried to buy weapons.

Intelligence services said that the Russian agent worked as a diplomat in Bern. The man tried to buy weapons and dangerous substances in several places in Switzerland.

A Swiss-German arms dealer said that he had visited his shop but had not bought anything.

Law enforcement officers conducted several searches. However, it is not yet known whether anyone has been arrested.
