- Republik says it conducted thorough fact-checking based on official documents, has submitted a comprehensive defense, and rejects being intimidated.
- The court confirmed receipt of Palantir’s request, and the case is now pending under Switzerland’s right-of-reply procedure.
- Palantir denies seeking to silence the outlet, framing the filing as a bid to correct alleged inaccuracies, but it has not specified which points it wants corrected.
- Republik’s December investigation reported Swiss Army experts advised against Palantir due to unpreventable data flows to U.S. intelligence, a finding that drew international attention.
