So, they couldn't legally pay someone to break into a Swiss Bank and steal data so the government could get money, but they can pay someone who has broken into a bank and stolen data so the government can get data? How very convenient for them.

Any English link to the news?

Is it Germany's responsibility to uphold Switzerlands laws?
No, the point is that Germany is buying data from a criminal that it could not otherwise legally obtain.

In short, contracting out certain aspects of law enforcement to criminals with bounties.
