Through the publications of Wikileaks it became known that the Zurich canton police had acquired surveillance software ( Trojans ) without the corresponding legal basis . In the summer of 2015, the Young Socialists filed a criminal complaint against Mario Fehr as head of the security department. Mario Fehr then suspended his membership in the Social Democrats until the complaint was no longer followed up in November 2015.
