the most comes out for israel launched deadly strikes in the neighboring city across lots of spikes of global outcry over increasing numbers of civilians out there with us. now the film is up next with an investigation into how one we are put in confidence or hiding their wealth in switzerland, optical fairly. thank you so much for your company. my name is elizabeth, i'm the calls back. said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold a bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay like. good, everyone to kings, to check out the award winning called called don't call back the a good

february 2022 par in ukraine. more has returned to european soil. the reaction is immediate. less than 24 hours after the invasion. sanctions are imposed on russia. if i'm famous, going to see on the whole against announcing new sanctions today, a get some of the russians will be as business feelings to say for the honda, this should be the hotel and that they could function. now the world is targeting the billionaires extravagant the ox, 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. result. 14, please don't the gas eligible. we will see

the size of it, but 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 that it could all collapse the do you want to be the country? the is, is that that can be used to circumvent those. the 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 to soc show. it's only when they adopted the sanctions. they took it easy into the minimum just enough to avoid criticism. the tgm level that occlusal there have always been black sheep and dishonest people who have forged papers or issued fall certificates. all of these

are high. so lated cases in hill southwest, they got it. are the sanctions really being ignored in switzerland or are the nations falls? 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 type easy pacific fault. the yacht is something very often patient is dollars such

a huge environmental. the destructive machine captures people's imagination when that goal for skills to everyone. things great. we've confiscated a boat to buy, but it's the start of a nightmare caught them to keep a ship is in port with a crew of 30 that must be maintained by the state that sees that thought process. that's called critical 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 getting audi tim jenco, who is co founder of the guns or oil company. his villa, unlike geneva,

was confiscated by the swiss before the sentence, switzerland had been very attractive to russians. the mazda cease the image of switzerland. everything is fabulous, little exceptional, on every level. a very beautiful country, hospitable especially to those who have money, stability and neutrality. what more could be a wish for? it says that when the ussr collapsed, switzerland was an excellent place to open accounts for the oligarchy. under steve, this is very quickly up, and i began to use switzerland as a hub for their business. these are especially financial business photos. i fell in the beginning. they were happily welcoming the laws were different to the banks for less. we know if you on the trusted the switch, so the bulk of the more of a gone don't. and if they wanted to copy the video, westerners could p very so that's why they wanted to buy beautiful villers airplanes. y'all is an art collection visual to emulate western billionaires

company 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 change who is a son of a member of the army. he has a villa and calling you to come to a very exclusive community in the canton of geneva. you know, again, he is also generous of a neva foundation cvp, classical music festivals and debbie bronte at the addition, a leave off and baltimore foundation that was excessive develop. they've got that doesn't that they also support the hockey club is all stuff that you'll see at excel. the. these are the ones on tangle families, main 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 to prudence, but on february 24th,

the day of the russian invasions their fate changed. you have a clue what about 3 dozen people had gathered in the kremlin? we will let them hear preteen basically told them what he had said on television a few hours earlier because of a problem. they were speechless, very surprising. but i'm certainly not pleasantly is still kind of funky. is it because they were completely dumbfounded to some were shocked. a, when vladimir putin called the meeting on the 24th. it's in your youth full well, but they would all be affected by western sanctions. these a body song song looking back we cannot say that put in gave them a poisoned gift to go through so cuz it won't poison 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 dangers. 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. so most of all that included the set top insightful will give you, we want to stop the financing of the war. we must, not only to very quickly but also ship very hard. i think since, you know, for like you have to hit those who are directly involved in financing the war, that's the, all the guard booth and the whole range of entities. but above all, the russian economy and the russian military centers and looks at these sanctions are not the only ones i'm concerned with and the, the freezing of all, the gar extends organizations asset us last 6 the but also sanctions targeting specific sectors associated with exports. and import them all the russian products, see the shape, look of the function. normally they aimed to hit the economy and the activities of the russian military industry at its hearts. the goal is to exert pressure to end the war to disrupt my struggle for it. i guess i'd the for neutral switzerland. it wasn't easy to accept his sanctions imposed by brussels. according

to d, j rind, us 4 days of uncertainty and secret negotiations were needed to prevent switzerland from becoming the weak link in europe. as soon as the lo locate is completely normal for an independent states, yet not to simply copy your opinion. the sanction building is that he's the biggest risk of that the implementation would be severely delayed. smith, fortunately that didn't happen. you know, despite everything switzerland imposed 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 involved by, you know, 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, is it the,

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 bureaus 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 receiving sizes of highly sensitive e mails and bank documents online. this data didn't originate in

a bank, 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 saved as an instrument to open the door to many bags, to solutions for the customer. we have access to markets on both private and public that very few companies in this world. what has it also offers its services

directly in russia, what we would suggest of what they call them by to who needs seen about ships the a better rate than those anyway, russian clients and a company that works with all the major banks in 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 feet and port data over the coming months. they will be assisted by journalists from france to many and switzerland. we haven't had enough to not talk before and that's actually what

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 task 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

the 1st step, matching the names of sanctioned individuals with feet and ports client list. but no matches are found. the rules are being followed. no assets from all the guards subject to sanctions are managed by does rick 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 10, a 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. i both have the largest

accounts that you know for the research team in munich on or just how that point them. a rank of finally was able to sneak their money now managed by seen to 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 the that so the red sign arrived we have millions of yes, dollars and you have someone who's working estate company. yeah. money and leaving russia. and that guy, dark thing is they don't company. and he filled out his before program. they didn't see the problem or that is on it to test drive

the other way. the problem is that alexander point or 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 fight in 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 fina point declined. our requests for interviews. we were told in writing that new discoveries often lead to investigations against 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 a safe deposit box at san fran center. as seen back into the rec, 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 improves the transaction and the bars were transferred. when asked the bank said the customers have your opinion, residents permits and are not subject to sanctions. we cannot refuse this type of transaction. as the goal belongs to 3rd parties, the 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, and bassett,

or inbound, 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'd probably have a lot of work to do together to continue to identify the trusts and companies and, and other entities that have been established to hide the beneficial ownership. interest of some of these assets, words are followed by dates of 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 lucid financial structures produced by attorneys serving us financial intermediaries. we call on the switch government to take

further steps. we share a concern that these loopholes could harm switzerland's reputation. for the state secretary on for economic affairs, then announce the opening of 30 criminal proceedings for possible circumvention of sanctions in switzerland for its director helen would lead a toyota, a former ambassador. the accusations were on justified le for them. and they took the form wasn't the best. we had to read in the newspapers that we would receive a diplomatic letter. we found it difficult to understand lunar golf home. you all, we are given certain explanations and told that switzerland must do better, don't come from us. but people forget that we are dealing with individuals who have a norm is resources at their disposal in normal, diverse too. or they all turned over go this through just as we check a private jet that could possibly lead the links to

a person on the sanctions list also. so we are immediately contacted by a law firm who goes upon and on about why this is not the case. a beautiful double go, a keep reset, the jet belongs to company x, y much go so and not to mr or mrs. why is it bom? assume all did really is almost detected work thoughts of him or still drop by a customer through the the phone or witnesses here. the pressure increased in july 2023. when a 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, of dirty money and switched to global conflict between the testimony is built around or got the ball rolling router a british national use to invest in russia,

but is now an activist the switzer allowing the russians to have access to the 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 backs to the jewish people until congress got involved in 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 around 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 at $150000000000.00, the caesars are laughable. this figure is what a spark controversy and attracted the eye or 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 swiss 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 norman had not yet collected any data from these. and when we made an estimate of the, of our estimate of 150000000000 was based on all across the border assets of russian clients that are booked with swift bank. i'm comfortable with the size doesn't. all of these are all russian clients with a russian passport for other nationalities, food or like another passport,

or several passports, like regardless of whether they live in switzerland or russia on the slide. so thing that responsible in the fact going good can set go on the other hand, use different data. the thought seemed news, it only includes the russian citizens with the corresponding russians has poured. 10 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 little bit seems to be the that's the big difference in that. so we'll get a bus that goes to a simple difference in calculation. but when it comes to freezing assets, the organization said it's hard to do more to balkan out the, 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. okay. and what if you don't, then the corresponding sanctions that banks have been implemented accordingly,

the implement, the liberal kick you all, most of the associated with the bankers who quoted this figure calculated all the russian assets for the lakers sold or to me then of 20 you have to bear in mind that not all russians are criminals, visual and not all russians are on the list for the actual series is honest. people also have money in switzerland, the store, and that might be where the misunderstanding comes from. it went off with 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. he said, hey, you know, this will ensure some are disappointed and think that we haven't done our job for know to come by itself. but i also find that a little frustrated with the com. that's all followed of the frustrating but for some, just the tip of the iceberg. switch politician by the cheese. tony knows the situation. well. he's

a lawyer and member of the legal affairs committee and is angered by the lack of 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. buttons does 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 ones that it's a neighboring countries in the usa have now set a task forces and some spit to bring together staff from similar authorities 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. 16 then we'll continue. it's about stopping the flow of money to rush at the finance the worth. i'll come and get so i think we could show a bit more goodwill definitely has to been put 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. 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 emerged, the 2 scene a port customers caught our attention the 1st heavy weight in russian politics. lou need run on 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, 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. okay, so was very inclusive letting me pretend because i was involved in a number of scandals reported in the media to set the homepage on also the fact that i remember you can ask an actual authority to know something that nobody knew . it was just motion of it. in this case, it 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 like a normal client from the mission to room, even though all the information points to the opposite of the triple? the former russian minister was a client defeated important 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

a multi millionaire who was convicted of fraud in 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 prescott on something new. keeping with such a total of almost $45000000000.00 load into the account. if i have seen a port to the post office, which raises the question of whether fina port should have worn to the swift authorities, all was the toys to assist. we show these cases to

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. for the it's not legal to have 2 passports, but 2 passports with 2 names. and that raises questions from a normally diligent expert should not have left that pass. you know, 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. i mean, they just get somebody to be you both shook based on these documents. so i think that in each of these cases, the authorities should have been alerted. your clients should have been asked 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

provided, none of the russian customers we came across during our research. wanted to comment in an email 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,

the cost to circumvent such loyal associates. so loose that is it not sure that the sanctions do not apply? if a russian citizen is resident in switzerland and that should they or has another european citizenship? every social, separate the certificate demo, and 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 warranty supplies decided, relative with malta, also decided to stop all procedures, progression, and bella, russian citizens. but that's not enough. essentially, she thought 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. fina port vend refers them to specialized companies or provides

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 interlock in congress center. $300.00 asset and trust managers match the event included discussions about new regulations, not 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, the case to what do we do now is to go say case is what happens after a bunch of people that there was actually a bit of panic. uh, you, uh,

at the task was to interpret, newly imposed regulations and was that for a week, you know, about the list and, you know, you have to be careful of source, put, our job is always to find solutions. go to the because 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 to now, but we always have to try to find solutions to be see you, to reduce and stick to the rules. oh, has clicked on it. above all, we looked for people who could confirm that the solution is a good one. good, but that's not always easy, is maternity. see, we used lion's head residences in monaco 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.

the brussels is also thinking about tracking down the key. 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 thoughtful that 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 convictions and confiscations and we call them this was 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, those assets can be blocked, but also whether there are attempts to circumvent sanctions equal to the mobility.

in plain language, switzerland should roll up his 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 boat 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 here the sanctions against the ron for 30 years and the sanctions against north korea for 20 years. there's been is waylon, bela ruth. i'll see there were sanctions everywhere. keith, this is obviously not leading to the desired regime. change something uh origin. secondly, these sanctions are unjust. who is affected?

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 households, lyric antibiotics, 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, legally is showing again, if you don't have a definition, if you can, you can't effectively defend yourself. you know, you can't make an argument because you don't know what you're mean. most of 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.

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 else just in some cases is essential, a switch. sanction. here you have a citizen who is defined as a russian citizen. did accept the problem is that he has swift citizenship, but that was not status or anything. so he has dual citizenship of switzerland and rush i. so i did the was brought up in switzerland. he went to school in switzerland. he pays his taxes in switzerland, c, a swiss example. so that is the 1st point. coxa is the 2nd class citizenship in switzerland. and that's $22.00 threes a defeat. this is cool. the 2nd point i'm will do, will he be officially notified? a few says mall said to me so. so please he informed of the imposition of sanctions

and an official letter. you want 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 and his reputation is severely damaged. x from one day to the next to you can no longer pay your bills. you can no longer pay your childrens tuition on the phone. you can no longer use your credit card or then we don't even have a swiss con subscription anymore together. but 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 italians and romano demo, but not english. you know, hold on. yeah, but i don't play this what. what is your client actually accused of? oh, i'll tell you that if he's the son of and is yeah, it's an english sale is where he lived on 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,

the father of the best of its auction. this is what i say that the father must be a criminal. he must be a war criminal chopin. but now what is the father accused? okay, the breaking pipelines and selling them to gas problem and ross now the pipeline 8, the leave on, i guess pull, that's like choosing a locomotive manufacturer. i'm selling his locomotives to s b b when people see it . that's absurd. he's not the one who decided to when a new brand new type of fi, really. so therefore the sanction against this with citizen is no and voice. the sanction is invalid in unit and you have to have the courage to admit that it is. so if i look why should i make the switch to dish and we will have the final decision. but the chances of success, awesome. and these aspects of the machine that we have international bodies that discuss each name and explain why we put that same on the lips. expect these all keys. in fact, you don't only have people who are directly linked to the pollutant originals who

the but it's always people whose companies, parents, or investment funds are financing the regime in one way or another. didn't money, it would, you know, she knows louis, you know, okay. and then you will probably find one or 21 just leave listed people on the whole list and it's a crisis that is an emergency situation say 90 percent and 99.9 percent of the cases. no, no, it's not people who know who to me personally for somebody and go for a glass of vodka with him. obviously. why the with god. basically, it's the owners of russian assets that are invested in the war in ukraine. thieves get, get you guys this to not get on the allow, beyond is not in favor of the war, but he is convinced that sanctions destroying our rule of law until the question of whether his clients can be removed from the sentence list has been clarified. he has to ask permission from the state secretary out for economic affairs for every payment from the frozen accounts of which ties up the administration's resources

and prevented from carrying out investigations the cape. uh okay. my team had to answer 20000 inquiries in the form of emails and phone calls dated often on deadline, or the owner of companies asking whether this or that deal with possible profess that it was an exceptional situation to sell, sit down for a neutral man, but now unfortunately, we are already in the 2nd year of this terrible war met. no. ok. so now we've also certainly have a strength and more resources and time to, to carry out the investigations to throw language, to go through the state secretary out is flipping a checks with additional stuff. the number of the visions uncovered in switzerland could increase in the future. a reminder, for now, we have yet to be informed of any proceedings against fina port, the
