Switzerland

Switzerland has been noted for its contributions to literature through Dorothee Elmiger's win of the German Book Prize with her novel 'The Dutch Women', showcasing Switzerland's role in producing innovative writers. Additionally, Swiss territory was part of a significant multi-national operation targeting an extensive forgery network involving works attributed to renowned artists like Picasso and Rembrandt. This case highlights Switzerland’s involvement in international law enforcement cooperation against art fraud. These events underscore the country's cultural influence and its participation in global efforts to combat illegal activities.
