...suffered in the preliminary proceedings by the Swiss Federal Prosecuting Attorney('s Office)

I know that looks huge, but I am inclined to believe that it really is this... A "gerichtspolizeiliches Ermittlungsverfahren" seems to be a "normal" Ermittlungsverfahren (=preliminary proceedings) instituted in this case by the Swiss Federal Prosecuting Attorney('s Office). The "schweizirische Bundesanwaltschaft" institutes/opens socalled "gerichtspolizeiliche Ermittlungsverfahren" for federal crimes.

judiciary police

It seems that some countries have something called the judiciary police.
You could say : for damages sustained during/in the course of the judiciary police investigation

I don\'t think there is anything called judiciary police in the US system, but the term is used to describe the situation in other countries and I also found a definition:
3. Police has also been divided into administrative police, which has for its object to maintain constantly public order in every part of the general administration; and into *judiciary police*, which is intended principally to prevent crimes by punishing the criminals. Its object is to punish crimes which the administrative police has not been able to prevent.

Peer comment(s):

agree Dr. Fred Thomson : Sounds like a good bet. Various cities in Germany have special police section called Gerichtspolizei

thank you
neutral Derek Gill Franßen : Could be...the words make sense, but no German speaking countries have a "judiciary police" (as far as I know). Please see my suggestion. :)

agree AMuller : Sort of agree if this is used to in the context of a different country. I never heard this in Germany (West) for criminal investigation.
