Erwin Beyeler (born February 21, 1952 in Schaffhausen ; legal domicile in Rüschegg ) was Federal Prosecutor of the Swiss Confederation from 2007 to 2011 and thus chief officer of the Federal Prosecutor's Office .
Life
Erwin Beyeler grew up in Neuhausen am Rheinfall in the canton of Schaffhausen and attended schools there and in Schaffhausen. He studied law at the University of Zurich , where he received his Dr. iur. PhD. He was admitted to the bar in Schaffhausen in 1982 and ran his own law firm from 1983 to 1989 . From 1988–1990 he was deputy public prosecutor for the canton of Schaffhausen and from 1990–1999 commander of the police corps of the canton and city of Schaffhausen, which were merged under his leadership. He then became chief of staff and first deputy commandant of the Zurich canton police . From 2001 he was Deputy Director of the Federal Office for Police and Head of the Federal Criminal Police in Bern . For family reasons, he moved to St. Gallen after a relatively short time . Between 2002 and 2007 he headed the public prosecutor's office and the investigative office of the canton of St. Gallen , where he established the single-stage code of criminal procedure , which will later be introduced in all cantons and at the federal level.
The Federal Council elected Beyeler on the proposal of Federal Councilor Christoph Blocher ( SVP ) on June 8, 2007, taking office on August 13, 2007 as Federal Prosecutor of Switzerland.
On June 15, 2011, Beyeler was not re-elected by the United Federal Assembly for a further four-year term. Among other things, his role as head of the Federal Criminal Police during the deployment of the Colombian drug baron Ramos, who had been appointed to the banker Oskar Holenweger as a confidante of the law enforcement authorities, remained controversial . His predecessor Valentin Roschacher had already fallen over this fact . His term of office ended at the end of 2011. He was succeeded by Michael Lauber .
Beyeler is married and has two daughters. He is a member of the FDP .
