The defendants denied charges that included damaging creditors, mismanagement, making false statements and forging documents. Some have blamed the big Swiss banks and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks for the airlineâs downfall. Swissair was grounded Oct. 2, 2001, after months of financial problems. Prosecutors sought prison for Mario Corti, the last chief executive of the parent SAirGroup, which is now defunct, and a range of suspended sentences for 18 other airline executives, board members and consultants.
