"Switzerland has confirmed cases of visa fraud at its embassy in Pakistan, blaming organised crime. It has closed the visa department of the Islamabad mission. Iindividuals involved with a human trafficking ring had most likely attempted to infiltrate the embassy's visa department, but there was not sufficient staff at the mission to prepare for such eventualities."
