Max Frei-Sulzer (born March 8, 1913 in Zurich ; † January 14, 1983 in Thalwil ) was a Swiss criminalist .

Life

The botanist with a doctorate was head of the scientific service of the Zurich City Police and lecturer in forensics at the University of Zurich . Since 1949 he has worked successfully and internationally recognized in Switzerland in the field of microscopic trace analysis. To this end, he introduced the adhesive tape method (in which otherwise barely visible micro-traces stick to Tesa film, scotch tape or similar adhesive tapes) in criminalistics in 1951. In 1973 he made pollen findings on the Turin shroud , which were intended to confirm the authenticity of the shroud.

He also became famous for mistakenly believing the Hitler diaries to be real. In the Gross case, Frei-Sulzer contributed to the fact that an innocent person was sentenced to life imprisonment through his report, which was later refuted. He was released after twelve years.
