For the complaint from Ticino employees that they were being bullied there it «no sufficient information», Stops dhe supervision is firm. Some federal judges had misused their subordinates “in style and tone” and “did not always take sufficient account of the cultural characteristics of the people of Ticino”.
But overall, the allegations turn out to be more of a diversion maneuver between two non-re-elected Italian speakers: According to the federal court, the elected president of the Appeals Chamber, Claudia Solcà, had “clearly not fulfilled her duties”. There was also no evidence of discrimination when President Giorgio Bomio was not re-elected, especially since a Ticino followed him.
The regulator is demanding consequences for the long-time Secretary General Mascia Gregori al-Barafi, who shared the allegations of bullying and also fueled false allegations of sexual assault. According to the Federal Supreme Court, the Ticino has also dealt with lawsuits and allegations brought to her by court officials “not lege artis”. That is why the supervisory authority demands that their employment relationship be terminated.
The Federal Supreme Court was unable to substantiate many of the allegations originally made. So Gebe it for example «no evidence of abuse of expenses». At Ginternal love affairs are the rules about pause and bias «without exception» been observed. There are also «no evidence of cases of sexual assault», as this newspaper wrote in February. The president of the criminal chamber, Martin Stupf, had told a clerk, however, that she should “not get pregnant”, because otherwise the workload could not be handled. He had apologized for this in 2018 and the apology had been accepted.
