30 Sep 2025 Scaffolder left injured undeclared worker without help – Federal Supreme Court upholds sentence €35,028
In February 2020, a scaffolder employed without a work permit fell around 4.5 m from scaffolding; the owner and managing director of the scaffolding company (anonymised in the judgment as ‘A.A. GmbH’) did not call the emergency services despite knowing of the accident, and had employed two Kosovars without permits. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgericht) upheld the conviction by the Lucerne Cantonal Court (Kantonsgericht Luzern): a suspended custodial sentence of 9 months and an unconditional monetary penalty of 80 daily rates of 410 CHF (32,800 CHF), plus a fine of 2,000 CHF that also covers traffic offences (6B_163/2024).
After an accident at work, first aid takes priority over everything else – attempting to conceal illegal employment makes the case more serious under criminal law.
