Updated sanction report
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has amended the regulation of 2. October 2000 on measures against persons and organizations with connections to Usama bin Laden, the group “Al-Qaïda” or the Taliban (SR 946.203).
By decision of 26. In April 2023, the competent UN Sanctions Committee changed the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The change is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO therefore on the 27th April 2023 adapted the sanctions database SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), which is relevant for Switzerland, and publishes the adjustment on its website.
FINMA Notice
In accordance with the provisions of the regulation, the financial intermediaries are asked to implement the prohibitions, to block the assets of the sanctioned persons and to report the affected business relationships to SECO. The report to SECO does not exempt a financial intermediary from making additional clarifications in the event of suspicion in accordance with Art. 6 AMLA and, if he cannot clear them out, immediately submit a report to the Reporting Office for Money Laundering in accordance with Art. 9 AMLA.
