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. this, on the whole, the guns announcing new sanctions today against some of russia's will be his business dealings. who can save for the honda this she did a hotel and that they could function. now the world is targeting the billionaire of extravagant, the ox not to go to an unprecedented level of sanctions are leveled at economic heavy weight. russia is the aggressor to chose this war. and now he in this country will bear the consequences. 14, please don't. the gas i want to levels,
8:17 pm
we need to find people that are i see dark. so when a beach and nibble was old name was really was for doors on 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 at 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 to soc show. it's only when they adopted the sanctions. they took it easy into the minimum just enough to avoid criticism. the teachers deliberate it is, there's always been black. she been dishonest. people who have forged papers or
8:18 pm
issued fall certificates or these are 5 so late in cases. then you'll southwest the copies that are the sanctions really being ignored in switzerland or are the parties. agents halls we investigated and thanks to an unprecedented data leak were able to find out more about the billions manage on behalf of russians in switzerland. the, in the beginning, the sentence meant seizures, yachts squares of millions were stranded in harbours. but could this end the war, the lawyer and the asset manager, d g bumpkin says the measures are surely symbolic. the new york type, easy pacific for the yacht is something very often patient is dollars such
8:19 pm
a huge environmental. the destructive machine captures people's imagination quite often 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 in port with the 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 has avoided sanctions . the 2nd is getting audi tim jenco, who is co founder of the guns or oil company. his villa, unlike geneva,
8:20 pm
was confiscated by the swiss before the sentence, switzerland had been very attractive to russians. the mazda cease the image of switzerland citrix. everything is popular. oh, exceptional, on every level. a very beautiful country. hospitable especially to those who have money in stability and neutrality, what more could be a wish for you? i says that's why the ussr collapse. switzerland was an excellent place to open accounts for the oligarchs 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 fell in the beginning. they were happily welcomed. the laws were different to the banks for less. we know if she feels on the trust at the switch, so the bulk of the more of a gun don't. and if they wanted to copy the video, westerners could p like so that's why they wanted to buy beautiful village airplanes. y'all is an art collection visual to emulate western millionaires
8:21 pm
community. the hooks, the help of the tension go. family has been in geneva since the early 2 thousands a stroke of luck for this with the united states. you're going to need to change. who is the 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 to be the classical music festivals and debbie, a volunteer to addition, a leave off to unbutton our foundation, the success block that isn't that they also support the hockey club is all the stuff that you see at excel, these are the ones in tangled families main activities in geneva into enclosure that what that all ended with the start of the war getting audi. tim shouldn't go, has left switzerland and his accounts have been frozen as have those of about a 100 other all the guards. not all of them are close to prudence. but on february 24th, the day of the russian invasion, their fate changed. you have
8:22 pm
a clue. what about 3 dozen people had gathered in the kremlin? we 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. they still cannot phone, can't use it because they were completely dumbfounded to somewhere shocked a when vladimir putin called the meeting on the 24th between your to use the full well, but they would all be affected by western sanctions. busy bodies song spoke to them, looking back, we cannot say that putting gave them a poisoned gift else who's who can do on poisoning. 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 defenders. once the new commissioner for justice and the rule of law, he had been pursuing russian assets since the beginning of the war with one goal.
8:23 pm
so most of all the exclusive topics, i so it will give you, we want to stop the financing of the war. we must not only act very quickly, but also ship very hard of exist, you know, fund they do have to get those who are directly involved in joining dancing. the ward. that's the, all the gardeners and a whole range of entities. but above all, the russian economy and the russian military and doesn't look at these sanctions, are not the only ones i'm concerned with and the, the freezing of all the guards and organizations asset us last 6 though i think, but also sanctions targeting specific sectors associated with export import bank, the russian product, see the shape luko the folks involved in it because 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 the sanctions imposed by
8:24 pm
brussels. according to d, j. a rind us for days of uncertainty and secret negotiations were needed to prevent switzerland from becoming the weak link in europe. some of the lo locate is completely normal for an independent state. not just simply copy your opinion. the sanction that is the he's the biggest risk that the implementation would be severely delayed. that's what fortunately, that didn't happen. you know, and despite everything switzerland imposed the sanctions quickly. also the fact which is that he, that the 2nd challenge was to prevent many players such as lawyers, notaries, and banks. so from helping circumvent sanction is all by having a legal text to a nice piece of paper is not enough from this if you, but you have to make sure the paper is effective. you fulfills office it, the kid is if it the,
8:25 pm
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 swish company imported $44000000.00 of russian gold via to buy 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 a data leak spotted on the dot net in february 2023 russian hackers receiving sizes of highly sensitive e mails and bank documents online this down to originate in a bank,
8:26 pm
but rather a company that manages billions and it's based in the heart of the it's name fina part, the official sponsor of the open tennis tournament, the to see all these chances without the limits of what is a mix of both traditional suspect, the very modern technology. i see it as an instrument to open the door to the main and bang solutions for the customer. we have access to markets on both private and public. very few companies in this world. what has, it also offers its services directly in russia. what we would suggest of what they
8:27 pm
come on by to who need steve about shots the the, the rate that there's any way 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 journalist steadily cooled by maya and bustin, opened my work in munich and wrote it too with surprised winning books on the panama papers. the a dozen, the employees will help them analyze the mountain of fina port data over the coming months. they will be assisted by journalists from france to ebony and switzerland.
8:28 pm
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, port 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 watts 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, a terabyte of data is the lot of may of and, and 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
8:29 pm
the 1st step, matching the names of sanctioned individual as we've seen reports, client list. but 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 put in more rank 10, a state own company called most modal cannot, which specializes in wastewater treatment. the senior official is a close friend of the deputy mayor of moscow. people close to him had 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 other girlfriends are both half the largest
8:30 pm
accounts, epstein, i'm part of the research team in munich on earth. just how that 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's the right side, right. we have millions of us dollars and you have someone working a stage company and money leaving russia and that guy directing eyes data and company. and he filled out his with for program. they didn't see the problem or that is on it to test drive
8:31 pm
the other way. the problem is that alexander point to 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 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
8:32 pm
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 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, the we are bound by confidentiality and a breach would have criminal consequences. the no current or former customers are expected, but essentially the is switzerland helping track down russian billions. for scott miller, the american ambassador, inbound, the answer is clearly no. he's
8:33 pm
a former banker and was the 1st to denounce switzerland's, lax attitude. i imagined 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. 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
8:34 pm
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 several 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 hold on. 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 b links to a person on
8:35 pm
a sanctions list. also. so we are immediately contacted by a law firm who goes on 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 detective 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 in switzerland. 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
8:36 pm
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 a swiss respect. 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,
8:37 pm
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 why wasn't 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, our estimate of 150000000000 was based on all across the border assets of russian clients that are booked with swift bank on people. think the size doesn't. all of these are all russian clients with a russian passport for other nationalities,
8:38 pm
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 go ahead and you can set go on the other hand, use different data. the thought seemed news, it only includes the russian citizens with the corresponding russian 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 node, it seems to me that 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 the, the bulk and i'll do the song. so 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,
8:39 pm
they 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 them it. but we do have to bear in mind that not old russians or criminals, visual or not, and not all russians are on the list. so the actual stories is honest. people also have money in switzerland, the store, and that might be where the misunderstanding comes from. it what else? what type of foster people have talked about? the sounds of 100000000000. it'd be 150000000000 people fed next. even if we do excellent work, we will never reach those numbers. the scenario this will ensure some are disappointed and think that we haven't done our job for them to come by itself, but i also find that a little frustrating with the top, the, the hello of the frustrating. but for some, just the tip of the iceberg suisse politician betsy's tony knows the situation well . he's
8:40 pm
a lawyer and member of the legal affairs committee and is angered by the lack of controls. so it's about to please on. i am not at all saying that the people who work for 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 one due to the neighboring countries in the usa have now set a task forces and some space to bring together staff from similar authorities. it's it that i 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 that i'm not going to continue. it's about stopping the flow of money to rush at the finance, the war, but 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.
8:41 pm
the list of sentients could be kind of even longer. switzerland is under pressure because for years it has had a reputation for forwarding, illegal money from russia in 2000 bank said they were putting the pass 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. leo 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
8:42 pm
records found, ryan, i'm guilty of money laundering and personal enrichment under contract. yeah. when you're talking about someone who is the part of the russians they've talked receive 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. the fact that remember, you can ask an actual authority to know something that nobody knew. it was just motion with it in this case. but 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 what date do you actually treat this client's like a normal client commission? wrong. even though all the information points to the opposite, unsecure, equal to the category of the former russian minister was a client of you know, 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,
8:43 pm
problematic client is a multi millionaire who was convicted of fraud and russia in 2019 for embezzling 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. that's good because he's wanted by the judiciary and russia. paula and several lawsuit set already been brought against them. so fraud for fold, particularly in the insurance sector, was to stop sick the amounts involved. they're also striking to say, prescott gallon some continue keeping with such a total of almost $45.00 millions load into the account. as 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 too serious. we show these cases to
8:44 pm
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 illegal to have 2 passports, but 2 passports with 2 names and that raises questions. so normally village an expert should not have let 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. let me 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 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
8:45 pm
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 to bank. source 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,
8:46 pm
the cost to circumvent effect was killed so loose that not sure that the sanctions do not apply. if a russian citizen is resident in switzerland, north from this trinity, 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 had 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 taking their opponent on this point, feed a port explained. it is not uncommon for clients to be interested in relocating to other countries seen in port vend refers them to specialized companies or provides
8:47 pm
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 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 how did it work with the russian families? but that's what i did. i, if you don't want you to have you, she, you have to clarify. simple thing is this like residents, permanency and citizenship. they fix it at work, meet with other professionals,
8:48 pm
such as banking and research, published and lawyer advising and worked on the asset manager at all. these understand what leeway there was also, especially at the beginning with ask whom slip off half a pre. then what did exactly she test or would it be that difficult? this difficulty of course, is what is keeping up to date in which i'm complying with constantly changing rules . i. spivey behaviors piece of saw says it's not easy to find out more than $11.00. 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, a private jets are collections and she knows all the ins and outs. i guess i'd be deep. when i read the word 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 and it was, that was
8:49 pm
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 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 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. it's maternity. see, we use clients had residences in 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.
8:50 pm
the brussels is also thinking about cracking down the kids. get a 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 and strategies to circumvent sanctions, so we've got, this can be proven, it can lead to criminal conviction, some complications. and we call on 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 and sanctions equal to the voltage. in plain language,
8:51 pm
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 boat and efficiency and justice illegality as well and any se, the song. so firstly, 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 on. and secondly, these sanctions are unjust. who is affected?
8:52 pm
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, as soon as you can, if you don't have a definition, if you can, you can't effectively defend yourself. no, you can't make an argument because you don't know what your 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.
8:53 pm
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 2nd. what else is in? so this is essentially a switch. sanction. here you have a citizen who is defined as a russian citizen. typically the problem is that he has swift citizenship. but that was not status or any states if he has dual citizenship of switzerland and russia. so it was brought up in switzerland. he went to school in switzerland. he pays his taxes in switzerland. see a swiss example. that is the 1st point. coxa is the 2nd class citizenship in switzerland, and that's 223 a do he, this is school for 2nd point i'm, i'm will do. will he be officially notified? a few says mall system is for some kids he informed of the imposition of sanctions
8:54 pm
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 banks, which has blocked his account, stress free finds out from the press and 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. com 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, 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? oh, i'll tell you that if he's the son of and is yes and 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,
8:55 pm
