MOSCOW (Sputnik) — An investigation carried out by the Swiss law enforcement discovered evidence that computers in one of the hotels in Geneva that hosted negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program could be used for the purpose of political espionage, local media reported Thursday.
In May 2015, Swiss authorities initiated criminal proceedings after the fact of malware infection had been revealed.
The Swissinfo news website reported citing a statement by the country's Office of the Attorney General (OAG) that a number of computers in Geneva's Hotel President Wilson were infected with the malware.
The media outlet added that at the same time, the probe failed to find any evidences to identify the perpetrators of the malware attack and the OAG suspended the proceedings.

For over ten years, the P5+1 countries, namely Russia, the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany have been trying to convince Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program and decrease the number of its centrifuges, fearing Tehran is developing nuclear weapons under the guise of a civilian program.
The international efforts resulted in a nuclear agreement between the P5+1 states and Iran to maintain the peaceful nature of its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
