An interim report published on 25 June 2026 highlights the positive outcomes of the first 6 months of the pilot “Repeat Offenders Task Force (LEI / Asylum Act).” The findings underline the coordination between criminal justice, police and migration authorities. Through a case management approach, the task force aligns asylum, criminal, detention and return procedures to improve the use of existing legal tools, particularly coercive measures.
During the initial phase (June–November 2025), 87 cases were reviewed across ten pilot cantons, involving asylum-related individuals from countries with low protection rates. Concrete improvements have already been implemented, including better use of Schengen alerts, earlier coordination of Dublin cases and improved case identification systems.
A final report is expected in autumn 2026 to identify best practices and assess the long-term integration of the task force.
