ZURICH (SwissInfo) - Switzerland's military justice system is investigating a Swiss citizen who worked for the controversial U.S. security firm Blackwater in Iraq. Authorities are looking into whether the man broke a law that bars the Swiss from working for foreign military services, an official said on Tuesday. Switzerland started its probe in May, said Frank Zellweger, spokesman for the Swiss military justice system. If the judiciary rules that employment for Blackwater constitutes military service, the man - referred to by Swiss television only as "Mike" - could receive a prison term of up to three years or a fine. He declined to identify the Swiss national, citing the country's strict privacy rules.  Switzerland, which was famous in the Middle Ages for sending mercenaries throughout Europe, strictly prohibits service in a foreign military.
