A barman was stabbed seven times and killed on 30 August 2023 at a contact bar on the Langstrasse in Zurich. On 29 July 2026 the Zurich district court convicted a 53-year-old Hungarian man of murder and sentenced him to 13 years and 5 months in prison. The court also ordered preventive detention, finding that the risk of him reoffending with the gravest violence remained clearly elevated, and imposed a 12-year expulsion from Switzerland to follow the sentence. The victim's life partner was awarded 40,000 Swiss francs in compensation. The judgment is not yet legally binding and may be appealed.
