In November 2012, Condrau was temporarily released from the management of the institute after the public prosecutor of the canton of Zurich had initiated criminal proceedings against two of his employees for breach of official secrecy . The Tages-Anzeiger had previously published internal documents from the Medical History Institute at the expense of the then curator of the Medical History Museum affiliated to the Institute, Christoph Mörgeli .

The Medical History Museum and the collection of objects were incorporated into a new Institute for Evolutionary Medicine. Flurin Condrau remained on the Chair for Medical History, which now belongs to the Institute for Biomedical Ethics and Medical History.
