6:16 am
february 2022 par in ukraine. more has returned to european soil. the reaction is less than 24 hours after the invasion. sanctions are imposed on russia. if i'm famous, going to see on the whole of guns announcing new sanctions today against some of the russians will be as business feelings to say for the city to hold on that that gets folks to now the world is targeting the billionaires extravagant yachts to an unprecedented level of sanctions are leveled at economic heavy weight. russia is the aggressor to chose this war. and now he is comfortable for the consequences. 14 easy, so please don't the gas eligible we need.
6:17 am
we'll see what i see dark show on the beach and nibble was old name was really was for the face one by one billionaires close to bruton are being tracked down there, yachts and jets confiscated and their money frozen. but for the plan to work, the money must be completely frozen the slightest crack. and it could all collapse the do you want to be the country? the is, is that that can be used to circumvent those. those sanctions is switzerland. this crack, this loophole is the alpine nation doing enough to freeze russian assets. criticism has been growing louder since the start of the war, let's say soc show. it's only when they adopted the sanctions. they took it easy into the minimum just enough to avoid criticism deliberate that those live always been black sheep and dishonest people who have forged papers are issued fall
6:18 am
certificates. all of these are high. so lated cases, then you'll southwest, the copies that are the sanctions really being ignored in switzerland or are the occupations halls we investigated. and thanks to an unprecedented data leak were able to find out more about the billions managed on behalf of russians in switzerland. the in the beginning, the sanctions meant seizures, yachts squares of millions were stranded in harbours. what could this end? the war, the lawyer and the asset manager, d. g bumpkin says the measures up shortly symbolic the new york times easy pacific fault. the yacht is something very often patient is dollars such
6:19 am
a huge environmental, the destructive machine captures people's imagination quite own that goal for skills to everyone. things great. we've confiscated a boat to buy, but it's the start of a nightmare taught them to keep a ship is in port with a crew of 30 that must be maintained by the state that sees that thoughts of successful political people have to make a difference. you have to target the assets, the finance behind the war. but freezing russian billions is much more complicated than confiscating a few yachts. the only god's love affair with switzerland is well known and it didn't start yesterday. 2 examples. victor victor, that with estimated assets of $7000000000.00 us dollars, he's one of the main shareholders of the early con group and it has avoided sanctions. the 2nd is donati, tim jenco, who is co founder of the guns or oil company. his villa, unlike geneva,
6:20 am
was confiscated by the swiss before the sentence, switzerland had been very attractive to russians. the mazda cease the image of switzerland, so everything is fabulous, little exceptional, on every level. a very beautiful country, hospitable especially to those of money, stability and neutrality. what more could be a wish for? it says that's why the ussr collapse. switzerland was an excellent place to open accounts for the oligarchy. under steve, this is very quickly up and began to use switzerland as a hub for their business. these are especially financial business photos i felt in the beginning, they were happily welcoming the laws were different to the banks for less. we know if she could only trust it to the switch. so the bulk at them while ago, i don't know if they wanted to copy the video, westerners could p value, so that's why they wanted to buy beautiful villas. airplanes, y'all is an art collection visual to emulate western billionaires company media.
6:21 am
hope the hooks, the help of the tim chico family has been in geneva since the early 2 thousands a stroke of luck for this with the united teacher. kennedy to chang, who is a son of a member of the army. he has a villa in cologne. you a very exclusive community in the canton of geneva, you get, he is also generous of a neva foundation cvp, the classical music festivals and debbie, a volunteer to addition, a leave off and baltimore foundation, the successive develop block that isn't that they also support the hockey club is all the stuff that you see at excel, the. these are the ones on tangle families mean activities in geneva, into questionnaire. but that all ended with the start of the war cannot attempt jenko has left switzerland and his accounts have been frozen as have those of about a 100 other oligarchs. not all of them are close prudence, but on february 24th, the day of the russian invasion, their fate changed. yachts, a clue?
6:22 am
what about 3 dozen people had gathered in the kremlin? we will come, huh. vladimir putin basically told them what he had said on television a few hours earlier because of the problem. they were speechless. very surprised. but i'm certainly not pleasantly spoken. all found it difficult because they were completely dumbfounded to somewhere shocked a when vladimir putin called the meeting on the 24th between your to your full well, but they would all be affected by western sanctions. these a body song salted on. looking back. we cannot see that put in gave them a poisoned gift to go through so cuz it won't present me over the months. the list of sanctions has grown longer and longer. who ends up on it and why that's not decided in switzerland but in brussels. we meet belgian, the g sanders once the e u commissioner for justice and the rule of law, he had been pursuing russian assets since the beginning of the war with one goal.
6:23 am
so most of all the topic will give you, we want to stop the financing of the war. we must not only act very quickly, but also ship very hard. i think since you know, fall i do have to hit those who are directly involved in joint answering the ward. that's the, all the guards and the whole range of entities. but above all, the russian economy and the russian military set goals and looks at these sanctions are not the only ones i'm concerned with. and the, the freezing of all the dark sands organizations asset us last 6 the but also sanctions targeting specific sectors associated with exports and import them on russian products. see the shape luko the functional mooney could be aimed to hit the economy and the activities of the russian military industry at its heart. the goal is to exert pressure to end the war. to disrupt, i struggle for it. i guess i the for neutral switzerland. it wasn't
6:24 am
easy to accept the sanctions imposed by brussels. according to d, j, a rangers, for days of uncertainty and secret negotiations were needed to prevent switzerland from becoming the weak link in europe. the assume that the lo locate is completely normal for an independent states. you not to simply copy your opinion. the sanction building is that he's the biggest risk is that the implementation would be severely delayed. that's what fortunately, that didn't happen. you know, despite everything switzerland impose the sanctions quickly. also, you've got to concede that the 2nd challenge was to prevent many players such as lawyers, notaries, and banks. so from helping circumvent sanction is off by having a legal text to a nice piece of paper is not enough. this if you, but you have to make sure the paper is effective, you fulfill itself, is it the kid is if it, the,
6:25 am
the criticism is diplomatic, but reasonable sanctions have been circumvented since the outbreak of the war, the february 2022, a swiss asset manager was stopped before he could fly off in a private jet with 500000 euros in cash for a russian client. in april 2023, a swiss company imported $44000000.00 of russian gold by a due by a loophole in the sentence. the are these isolated cases. we took a closer look with the help of 2 colleagues more familiar with the financial world . we started with the data leak spotted on the dot net. in february 2023 russian hackers. sizes of highly sensitive e mails and bank documents online. this data didn't originate in a bank,
6:26 am
but rather a company that manages billions and it's based in the heart of the it's name fina port, the official sponsor of the open tennis tournament. the to see all these chances without limits enough for it is a mix of both traditional suspect. the technology. i see it as an instrument to open the door to manufacture, to solutions for the customer. we have access to markets and most private and public. very few companies in this world. what has it also offers its services directly in russia, where we bought a suggestive,
6:27 am
what come on by to who needs seen about ships the, the better rate than those anyway, russian clients and a company that works with all the major banks and switzerland. this data is very interesting, but the flood of information is too much for us. we travel to germany to meet to experts on data leaks, the journalists credit equal by maya and bustin over my work in munich and road. if you would surprise winning books on the panama papers, the a dozen employees will help them analyze the mountain of fina port data over the coming months. they will be assisted by journalists from friends, germany, and switzerland. we haven't had enough to not talk before and that's actually what
6:28 am
makes it so interesting for us because it seems like you know, part as a much smaller company. then the many well known companies and 4 feet apart. it seems like they are a little bit like flying another radar and not under as much watch as the big players in switzerland. so it seems like they might be dealing with customers that the big guys, the big players do not want to touch anymore because they are under too much surveillance. the leak is $1.00 terabyte of data is the lot of may of and then documents and banking data. so even if the heck a cool is a really bad and aggressive and it looks like that, right? and still, if there's information that the public needs to know you're going to publish
6:29 am
the 1st step, matching the names of sanctioned individuals. we've seen imports, client list with no matches are found. the rules are being followed. no assets from all the guards subject to sentients are managed by the zurich based company. but we do discover russian money directly linked to the financing of the war. the data includes family members of one man, alexander, point them a rank of ted state own company called most moto cannot, which specializes in wastewater treatment. the senior official is a close friend of the deputy mayor of moscow. people close to him have been awarded numerous lucrative public contracts worth more than 150000000 years. the value of the contracts are way too high. and this could explain why the family is so wealthy . the daughter and the girlfriends them both half the largest accounts that part the research team in munich on earth,
6:30 am
just how to point them. a rank of finally was able to sneak their money now managed by fina port. back to europe. it's complicated, but more than 46000000 was in the family switched accounts at the end of 2022 no sanctions were imposed on corner rankles daughter and mistress but the origin of the money raises questions that so the read sign right. we have millions of yes, dollars and you have someone is working stage company, the money leaving washer. and that guy, dark thing is they don't company and he filled out his before pockets. they didn't see the problem or that is on it to the test of
6:31 am
the other way. the problem is that alexander point of a rank goes, company is not only active in the waste water sector. must photo cannot, is also active and occupied ukrainian territories. we found the company offering its employees financial incentives to fighting ukraine on v. contact a social media network. hundreds of men and equipment had been sent to the front. according to this video, published by the company, the feeder port declined our requests for interviews. we were told in writing that new discoveries often lead to investigations against its customers, but there are more surprises. back in switzerland, our team of journalists discovered an e mail sent just a week after the attack on ukraine to russian customers wanted to store 40 gold bars worth a total of $5600000.00 in
6:32 am
a safe deposit box at san fran servicing back in zurich. feet of ports managers considered this transaction to be clumsy and alerted the authorities. the, the customer could be accused of attempting to circumvent sentence. they wrote, nevertheless, feed a port approve the transaction and the bars were transferred. when asked the banks that the customers have europe in union residents permits and are not subject to sanctions. we cannot refuse this type of transaction. as the goal belongs to 3rd parties. we are bound by confidentiality and a breach would have criminal consequences. the no current or former customers are selected by the sanctions is switzerland helping track down russian billions. for scott miller, the american ambassador inbound,
6:33 am
the answer is clearly no. he's a former banker and was the 1st to denounce switzerland's, lax attitude. years ago, i imagine that we probably have a lot of work to do together to continue to identify the trusts and companies and other entities that have been established to hide the beneficial ownership. interest of some of these assets. words are followed by dates. april 2023. a short letter signed by all g 7. investors and the european union was sent to the federal council. a diplomatic slap in the face. we also have concerns that law enforcement officials are blocked from investigating a listed financial structures produced by attorneys serving us financial intermediaries. we call on the switch government to take further steps. we share
6:34 am
a concern that these loopholes could harm switzerland's reputation. for the state secretary on for economic affairs didn't announce the opening of 30 criminal proceedings for possible circumvention of sanctions in switzerland for its director, helen woodley got a toyota, a former ambassador. the accusations were unjustified love for them and at the bottom of the form wasn't the best. we had to read in the newspapers that we would receive a diplomatic letter. and we found it difficult to understand lunar golf hold on. we are given certain explanations and told that switzerland must do better, don't come yet, but people forget that we are dealing with individuals who have enormous resources at their disposal. in normal, diverse too, on their own towns over go this through just as we check a private jet. the composite lead the links to a person on
6:35 am
a sanctions list also. so we are immediately contacted by a law firm who goes upon and on about why this is not the case. i'll be able to double go and keep reset the jet belongs to company x, y, and not to mr. edwards or misses. why is it bob? assume i did really is almost detective work. i think some of them are still drop by a customer through the the phone or witnesses here. the pressure increased in july 2023. when the us senate committee took up the issue, the focus of the hearing, switzerland, alleged failings, security. we have seen the russian economy surviving better than we thought it was in part of that has been, i'm wondering, a dirty money in switzerland, global conflict between the testimony is built around or got the ball rolling router. a british national used to invest in russia, but it's now and activist the switzer allowing the russians to have access to the
6:36 am
money to kill ukrainians. and we should do something to shut that down. and if the swiss aren't willing to do it voluntarily, then we should put pressure on them. they weren't going to give the nazi gold back to the jewish people until congress got involved. and congress has power here and us with respect that. and sometimes when people don't behave themselves, we need to give them an incentive to behave themselves. and that's why i think we're all here and that's where you can play with all of these accusations justified. let's look at the figures. switzerland has frozen about 7500000000 francs and 17 villas. not bad compared to the 9000000000 frozen by the usa and the 24000000000 frozen body you. however, given the total amount of russian assets deposited in switzerland, which is estimated $150000000000.00,
6:37 am
the seizures are laughable. this figure is what a spark controversy and attracted the higher of the americans. where did the estimate come from? and one was more russian money frozen. to understand you have to go to zurich. we met with the swift bankers association, an umbrella organization representing more than 260 member backs. the association was the 1st to calculate the value of russian deposits. he met swanson filed so i'll take in march 2022. the state secretary at for economic affairs of seco enrollment had not yet collected any data from these in the home that we made. an estimate of the, of our estimate of 150000000000 was based on all cross border assets of russian clients that are booked with swift bank. i'm comfortable with the team the size doesn't. all of these are all russian clients with a russian passport for other nationalities, food or like another passport,
6:38 am
or several passports, like regardless of whether they live in switzerland or russia on the slide. so they're responsible in, in the set going good can, i'll set, go on the other hand, use different data. the thought seemed news, it only includes the russian citizens with the corresponding russians has board and does not include corresponding assets and the cost of the account. it contains books, we included this and estimate, it's $150000000000.00. so for these and that seems to me that that's the big different thing that's we'll get it ship us. the goal is to see a simple difference in calculation. but when it comes to freezing assets, the organization said it's hard to do more the, the bulk and i'll do the song. so with the banks are strictly complying with the sanctions and will continue to do so. i think the sanctions aren't over yet and are largely being continued right. and what if you don't find the corresponding sanctions that banks have been implemented accordingly,
6:39 am
implement the liberal kick. you almost show that associated with the bankers who quoted this figure calculated all the russian assets to this folder to me then upward, you have to bear in mind that not all russians are criminals, and visual and not old russians are on the list. so the actual stories is the honest people also have money in switzerland. the still and that might be with a misunderstanding comes from it. well, what type of foster people have talked about sums of 100000000000. it'd be 150000000000 people fed next. even if we do excellent work, we will never reach those numbers. the said, hey, you know, this will ensure some are disappointed and think that we haven't done our job to, to come by itself. but i also find out a little frustrating with the com. that's all followed of the frustrating but for some, just the tip of the iceberg. switch politician by piece tony knows the situation. well. he's a lawyer and member of the legal affairs committee and is angered by the lack of
6:40 am
controls due to please on. i am not at all saying that the people who work are the state secretary and for economic affairs are incompetent to sit button. that's not fit. they do their job very well. but the secretary, it lacks a whole range of skills that are not part of their jobs, are the best one to the neighboring countries in the usa have no set of task forces . it seems to bring together staff from similar authorities. it's from private banks or people who specialize in commodities trading and so on. a demo with all that concentrated expertise. and you'll see that you can uncover the complex structures that make it possible to circumvent sanctions. and then we'll continue. it's about stopping the flow of money to rush it to finance the war to come and get so i think we could show a bit more goodwill. definitely that depends on the lack of will or lack of control . one thing is certain to end the war and rebuild ukraine, the united states and europe are searching for every last 1000000000 from russia.
6:41 am
the list of sanctions could become even longer. switzerland is under pressure because for years it has had a reputation for forwarding illegal money from russia in 2000 banks that they were putting the past behind them, no more scandals. but as our research continued an entirely different picture enlarged, the 2 scene a port customers caught our attention. the 1st heavy weight in russian politics. loony, drawn on a former minister of telecommunications and advise you to the president from 2008 to 2010. in this photo, you can see him from the hind standing opposite the former german chancellor. he was just then becoming a client of fina pours, and over 30000000 euros ended up in historic accounts. but in 2006, as the records found rhyme,
6:42 am
i'm guilty of money laundering and personal enrichment under contract. yeah. when you're talking about someone who is the part of the russian slave to proceed for years, this was very inclusive letting me pretend because i was involved in a number of scandals reported in the media to set the homepage on something on the fact that remember you can ask an actual authority to know something that nobody knew. it was just motion of it. in this case, we didn't have to look far to understand that this is a highly problematic person that along both of us, it didn't, doesn't exist to do it. yeah, i think to know a little date, do you actually treat this client's like a normal client commission to won't, even though all the information points to the opposite are on the triple the former russian minister was a client athena port until at least the end of 2021. the company denies any wrong doing. and said it investigates its clients backgrounds and the origin of the assets manages. the 2nd problem added client is
6:43 am
a multi millionaire who was convicted of fraud and russia in 2019 for investing assets from an insurance company. he's on the international list of wanted persons . but this russian still managed to open several accounts in switzerland under 2 different names and identities. the crew cab jayce of it is particularly interesting best because he's warranted by the judiciary in russia. and several lawsuits have already been brought against him. so fraud for fold, particularly in the insurance sector, was to stop say the amounts involved. they're also striking to say press good on something new. keeping with such a total of almost $45000000000.00 load into the account. if i have seen a port to the portal which raises the question of whether fina port should have warned to the swiss authorities all was the toys to assist. we show these cases to
6:44 am
a former employee of track, seen the french financial intelligence unit. for security reasons, he asked to be made unrecognizable, but his reaction is very clear about the bus because it's not legal to have 2 passports, but 2 passports with 2 names. and that raises questions. a normally village, an expert should not have left that pass. you don't mind, you can't treat this as a situation for standard procedure, especially since we're not talking about amounts of a few 1000 euros here. you have to be extremely careful. you need just get somebody to the you both shook based on these documents. so i think that in each of these cases, the authorities should have been alerted. your client should have been asked to much more detailed questions about the origin of the funds. and they should not have been satisfied with verbal explanations from the clients, but demanded supporting documents. yes, even an asset manager should have become suspicious based on the documents you
6:45 am
provided to none of the russian customers we came across during our research. wanted to comment in an e mail from the port told us it is the customers decision under which legal name they wish to open their bank accounts, and claim to have no knowledge of cases in which customers have declared different nationalities, 2 bags, worth ortiz, the company added that the person in question is no longer a client, and that fina port cannot open a bank account and only provides financial advice. but the company's rule went far beyond that. march 2022, shortly after the start of the sanctions. senior ports this email to a russian customer with options for obtaining a residence permit, or passport at short notice. the estimated cost from 7000 swiss francs for hungary to 150000 for the caribbean island of grenada. in plain language,
6:46 am
the cost to circumvent effect was killed. so lose that and not sure that the sanctions do not apply. if a russian citizen is resident in switzerland and that should that or has another european citizenship there, but it still shows that people certificate them on. but this is one way of circumventing sanctions. i want to be managed to ensure that no more passports have been issued since the outbreak of the war supplies decided residence at malta also decided to stop all procedures, progression and bella, russian citizens. but that's not enough sense. if you've got, if we have to ask ourselves whether, what was done in the past as a problem, you the limits whether it is appropriate to question the passports that were issued in the past. and then we can also look at other groups. there are many people with dual citizenship and measures may also need to be taken there. on this point, feed a port explained. it is not uncommon for clients to be interested in relocating to other countries. senior port then prefers them to specialized companies or provides
6:47 am
them with appropriate advice the what is this common behavior for asset managers? we looked for answers here to the profession has its major annual meeting just outside of down at the interlocking congress center, $300.00 asset and trust managers match the event included discussions about new regulations, jobs, big money with experts from over switzerland. we were not allowed inside with our cameras with one of the organizers, a trust administrator from geneva was willing to answer our questions the course of how did it work with the russian families. but that's what i do. i, if you don't want ve, she you have to clarify. simple thing is this like residents, permanency and citizenship. i gotta fix it to work,
6:48 am
meet with other professionals such as banking and research, published and lawyer losing and worked on the asset manager. all these understand what leeway there was also, especially at the beginning with ask who i'm with a half a pre then what did exactly she test on. so could it be that if you could, this difficulty of course was go, is keeping up to date in which i'm complying with. constantly changing rules. i spivey behaviors, resource office phone don't it's not easy to find out more than 11. i agree to talk openly. with us about another side of her profession to see if we a doesn't manage bank accounts. she manages villas, john. the private jets are collections and she knows all the ins and outs. i guess i'd be to keep the award again. there were many questions. lucas 2, what do we do now? is to google say, guess what happened? say after a bunch of people that there was actually a bit of panic. a, you at the task was to interpret, newly imposed regulations of going was that was
6:49 am
a week, you know, about the list and, you know, you have to be careful of source. yeah. but our job is always to find solutions go to the took of today is war. yesterday, it was coded the day before yesterday. it was the americans. yes. and we don't know what tomorrow will bring. it denounced, but we always have to try to find solutions to reduce and stick to the rules. oh, has clicked on it. above all, we've looked for people who could confirm that the solution is a good one. good. but that's not always easy. it's maternity. see, we use clients had residences and monica, and often had several passports. some financial advisors will always have good ideas for adapting and slipping through the cracks. the sections the us treasury department has begun, sanctioning switched financial expert to find solutions to hide money.
6:50 am
the brussels is also thinking about tracking down the kids getting someone who has circumvents or attempts to circumvent sanctions is committing a crime. their assets can no longer just be frozen, they can be confiscated. that is very important to see. the property can become state property and the money can be directed to ukraine and talk to later we try to take this approach not only in relation to russian, oligarchs, or russian organizations. but also try to involve legal and tax advisors, lawyers, notaries and banks. if they are involved in strategies to circumvent sanctions, specific and this can be proven, it can lead to criminal conviction, some confiscation. so please give shots and we call on the switch confederation to move in the same direction so, so and ensure that it not only looks at whether there are people who are subjects to sanctions i, those assets can be blocked. but also whether there are attempts to circumvent sanctions equal to the mobility. in plain language,
6:51 am
switzerland should roll up its sleeves and better control the activities of all those who may be worked with to keep rushing money out of reach. still, sanctions against all the guards and their entourage have not been met with unanimous approval. one man is fighting against what he calls the absurdity of sanctions. and beyond as a lawyer in geneva, he rarely speaks to the media, the police on charles city, sage. and he suggested that our sanctions stand for, for things in particular, the vote and efficiency and justice illegality as well and any se, the song. so personally they are in effect hold on, i remind you that there have been sanctions against cuba for 60 years, sanctions against iran for 30 years, and the sanctions against north korea for 20 years. there's been is waylon baller roost. i'll see there were sanctions everywhere. keith, this is obviously not leading to the desired regime change something or the and secondly, these sanctions are unjust. who is affected?
6:52 am
wow. it is the population that get people to 95 percent of whom have nothing to do with the outbreak of war and ukraine or in other countries. ultimately, these sanctions come back to us in the form of inflation that it can in the form of electricity prices that affect the low income household lyric antibiotic. because they come back to affect us you, he defends the richest people in russia. those are referred to as all the guards a term he finds problematic. the problem. i have a problem with the best candidate because it is not legally defined. for me that is my problem, but it's not that i don't like the term. it's that i don't understand what it means to legally, as soon as you can, if you don't have a definition, you can't effectively defend yourself. you know, you can't make an argument because you don't know what you're meeting and stuff. what are they actually accusing you of having unfortunately pushed closeness to power? what are you being accused of and how is that defined? or this is the only way to break the sentence is to go to court in the us.
6:53 am
this is mission impossible, but in switzerland and europe, he went to battle for one of his clients, based in the canton of geneva. his villa wasn't extremely luxurious, but his client had to leave in a hurry, after being sanctioned. what it says in some cases is a sanctioned a switch. sanction. here you have a citizen who is defined as a russian citizen to click the problem is that he has swift citizenship, but that was not status or anything. he has dual citizenship of switzerland and rush i. so i did see was brought up in switzerland. he went to school in switzerland. he pays his taxes in switzerland, c, a swiss example. that is the 1st point. coxa is the 2nd class citizenship in switzerland. and that's going to do he, this is going for a 2nd point i'm, i'm will do. will he be officially notified? a few says mall said to me, so, song, please. he informed of the imposition of sanctions and an official letter. you want
6:54 am
that? well, no, not at all. you simply put his name on the internet and how does he find out he finds out from his bank, which is blocked his account, stress free finds out from the press that his reputation is severely damaged. expect from one day to the next to you can no longer pay your bills. you can no longer pay your childrens tuition or phone. you can no longer use your credit card or then we don't even have a swiss con subscription anymore. it's social deaf and there's nothing you can do. the 3rd point is that it is written in english. that song is english and official language. the national languages are german, french, italian, and romano small. but not english, you know, hold on. yeah, but i don't play this what, what is your client actually accused of? especially with you. oh, i'll tell you that if he's the son of and is yeah. so it's an english sale is where he lived by my father's son to that's only, that's ridiculous. most issued feasible society to the client's father has been personally honored by vladimir putin,
6:55 am
