Burglars Turn Abilities to Expose Austro Hungarian Espionage in Zurich
A French Swiss paper relays a sensational tale in which two Italian burglars deserting from service in wartime Europe infiltrate the Austro Hungarian espionage bureau in Zurich. They seize and transport the bureau’s sensitive documents to the Zurich consulate, bypass security with disguises, and escape with the loot after two hours of steady work. The plot uncovers the thieves’ prior military desertion, the use of forged uniforms, and a costly burglary tied to political motives and palatial resistance along the Swiss frontier.
