Belarusian murder confession in St. Gallen trial faces evidentiary scrutiny

A Belarusian national claiming to have murdered a Lukashenko opponent is on trial in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The core legal question is whether a confession alone suffices as evidence, given the absence of corroborating material. The case tests Swiss judicial standards for politically sensitive crimes and may set precedent for handling confessions in high-stakes trials.
