This proposed law aims to make it easier for defendants to prevent the publication of articles they do not like through a so-called super-provisional measure. 'We really have to be careful not to jeopardise so lightly important achievements of our democracy,' says Maurisse, referring to a bill currently being drafted in the Swiss parliament. The increasing pressure on the media is a fundamental problem for press freedom in Switzerland. 'Unfortunately, the courts are more and more often in favour of such complaints, which weakens our work”. 'Alleged lawbreakers regularly send their lawyers after us and try to stop the publication of our texts in court,' she reports. The journalistic work of Maurisse and her colleagues is not appreciated by everyone. 'We search publicly available judicial proceedings for information on people and organisations around the world suspected of illegal transactions via Swiss financial institutions,' says Maurisse. Maurisse is also the Swiss correspondent for the French newspaper Le Monde. This online magazine has quickly made a name for itself as an important source of revelations about financial crime in Switzerland. For the last four years she has been the editor of Gotham City with her Swiss colleague François Pilet.

The French investigative journalist has been living in Switzerland for many years. 'As a citizen, I have the right to say what I want without fear of being harassed by the police and arrested,' says Maurisse. In international rankings on freedom of expression and democracy, Switzerland has nothing to be ashamed of.
