 KOPP v. SWITZERLAND - 23224/94 [1998] ECHR 18 (25 March 1998)
7.  The applicant’s wife, Mrs Elisabeth Kopp, was a member of the Federal Council and head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police from 1984 until her resignation in January 1989.
It concluded that Mrs Kopp had performed her duties with competence, diligence and circumspection, and that the rumours to the effect that she had allowed external influences to affect the way she performed her duties were unfounded.
The Kopp case was of particular interest, coming as it did eight years after the Kruslin and Huvig judgments, and provided an opportunity to consolidate the case-law which led to the enactment of new French legislation regulating telephone tapping.

 Profile of Ruth Dreifuss
Women now hold 46 positions on the National Council and seven in the Council of States, althought Dreifuss is the only woman in the seven-member Federal Council.
The first woman to advance into the Federal Council, the inner circle of Swiss government, was Elisabeth Kopp, a Radical Democrat.
She joined the Swiss cabinet in 1984, but constant impairments by the male-dominated government and the inherent responsibilities of her difficult locale forced her to resign in spite of the prospects of a presidency in 1989.

 Direct Democracy In Switzerland Ch. 11-15
When Tages-Anzeiger broke the story of Elisabeth Kopp's involvement in her husband's financial woes in the late 1980s, the story concerned her actions as a government official - not petty financial activities she was unaware of, or a politician's bedroom paramours.
Kopp was federal councilor and the head of Switzerland's Justice Department, in charge of leading an investigation into a firm - and then telephoned her husband to give him a head's up on the gathering storm.
Likewise, Swiss media, led by Urs Paul Engeler of Weltwoche, played a key role in breaking the story of Switzerland's P26 and P27 brigades.

 Swiss Banking Culture Threatened from Out- & Inside (updated 5/12/02)
Some of these links - notably that with the Union Bank of Switzerland - seem to have their origins in the U.S. exploitation of the cavalier treatment of Jewish pre-WW2 deposits.
The outgrowth of these cancers is manifest in the BCCI affair (over-lapping directorship of Dr.Alfred Hartmann), in the SASEA affair and in the Shakarchi affair which was not only admitted, by the U.S. Embassy in Berne, as a CIA affair, but even brought down Switzerland's Minister of Justice Elisabeth Kopp.
Another CIA link was amply documented in the case of Colonel North and other U.S. officials operating through the Credit Swiss which was found to have been flmailed by the intelligence community since the fourties.
