The defendants were financed in their defense by Nazi agents working for the German government, including anti-Jewish activist and Welt-Dienst / World-Service / Service Mondial publisher Ulrich Fleischhauer, the expert appointed by the defendants. The plaintiffs, the Schweizerische Israelitische Gemeindebund/Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG) and the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bern, were represented by the Bernese lawyers Hans Matti and Georges Brunschvig (helped by Emil Raas). The plaintiffs financed a larger part of the costs of the citation of witnesses and of the pay of the experts C. A. Loosli and A. Baumgarten.
