#Russophobia is expensive: #Swiss man fined for spitting at Russian consulate
The incident occurred while he was jogging. The lawyer, an employee of a federal company, protested Switzerland's neutrality in the conflict in #Ukraine by demonstratively spitting in the sign of the diplomatic mission.
He will pay a 6,900 franc ($8,300) fine and 500 francs in costs.
Cheers you fucking moron
