Zurich prosecutors have filed charges against a 21-year-old French national for a series of crimes committed in February 2026, including vehicle thefts and a violent car robbery. The indictment, set for the Uster District Court, alleges that the suspect and two accomplices stole a van, broke into a car dealership in Wil, and used violence to steal a Mercedes from a woman in a Dübendorf parking garage.

The prosecution is seeking a four-year unconditional prison sentence and a seven-year expulsion from Switzerland. While the primary suspect faces criminal proceedings, a 17-year-old accomplice has been referred to the youth prosecutor's office, and a third accomplice remains at large.
