3:16 pm
the reaction is immediate. less than 24 hours after the invasion. sanctions are imposed on russia. this i'm famous, going to see on the whole against announcing new sanctions today against some of russia's wealthy as business viewings. who can say the honda does, she did a whole comb with i could function. now the world is targeting the billionaire is 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 here this cultural affair, the car is on page 14. please don't the gas i want you levels. we need to assign people the what i see dark show on the beach
3:17 pm
and nibble was old name was really was the dorms 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. let's say folks show it so it did when they adopted the sanctions, they took it easy into the minimum just enough to avoid criticism to liberalize that those live always been black. she been dishonest people who have forged papers or issued fall certificates or these are isolated cases in hill southwest they got
3:18 pm
started. are the sanctions really being ignored in switzerland or are the accusations false? 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 sentence meant caesar's 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 a yacht is something very often patient, suspicious dollars. such a huge environmental. the destructive machine captures people's imagination quite
3:19 pm
own that coffee 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 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 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,
3:20 pm
switzerland had been very attractive to russians. new mazda sees the image of switzerland citrix. everything is popular. oh, 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 you? i says that's why in the ussr collapse, 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 welcom. do you know the laws were different to the banks for less? we know if she feels on the trust at the switch, so the bulk of them why they've gone don't. and they wanted to call people richard, west a nurse could p very so that's why they wanted to buy beautiful villages. airplanes y'all is an art collection visual to emulate western millionaires community. the hooks onto the tim chico family has been in geneva since the early 2 thousands,
3:21 pm
a stroke of luck for this with the getting ready to ship. kennedy to shank, 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. your identity is also generous of a neva foundation to be the the classical music festivals, and that'd be the ground to get the dish in a, in a box and baltimore foundation block that doesn't have. they also support the hockey club is also fit. you'll see at excel, these are the ones on chain cool families, main activities in geneva, into questionnaire. what that all ended with the start of the war. 92 and go 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 put in, but on february 24th, the day of the russian invasion, their fate changed. you have a clue. what about 3 dozen people had gathered in the criminal and we will let them
3:22 pm
you're pretending basically told them what he had said on television a few hours earlier because of a problem. they were speechless. very surprising level. certainly not pleasantly stuff. the whole phone can use it because they were completely dumbfounded to somewhere shocked a when vladimir putin called the meeting on the 24th. and then you also use the full well, but they would all be affected by western sanctions. these a body song spoke to them, looking back, we cannot say that put in gave them a poisoned gift phelps who took a long pause 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.
3:23 pm
so most of all the topics i saw 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. i think since, you know, for like you have to ship those who are directly involved in financing the war, that's the, all the gardeners 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 am concerned with. and the freezing of all the guards and organizations asset us by 6 though i mean, but also the sanctions targeting specific sectors associated with export import bank. the russian products see the shape luko the folks involved in it 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 the shop. i struggle for it, i guess i'd for neutral switzerland. it wasn't easy to accept the sanctions imposed by brussels. according to d, j around us,
3:24 pm
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 to simply copy your opinion. the sanction building is that he's the biggest risk of 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 you can see 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 in this if you but you have to make sure the paper is effective. you wholesale salt, this is the kid is, this is the, the criticism is diplomatic. but reasonable sanctions have been circumvented. since
3:25 pm
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 swish 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 . the we started with a data leak spotted on the dot net in february 2023 russian hackers with thousands of highly sensitive e mails and bank documents online. this data didn't originate in a bank,
3:26 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 limits. it is a mix of both traditional suspect transferring technologies. i see it as an instrument to open the door to manufacture solutions and for the customer. we have access markets, both private and public. very few companies as well as it also offers its services directly in russia. we bought a sick visit for a very common buy needs seen about ships the,
3:27 pm
the bit 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 journalists, politically cool by maya and bustin, opened my work in munich, and wrote a tool that surprised winning book 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 france, germany, and switzerland. we haven't heard of, cannot talk before, and that's actually what makes it so interesting for us because it seems like you
3:28 pm
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, a terabyte of data is a lot of males and then documents and banking data. so even if the heck a cool is a really bad and aggressive and it looks like that's right, a and still, if there's information that the public needs to know you're going to publish. the 1st step, matching the names of sentient individuals with fina points. client list,
3:29 pm
but no matches are found. the rules are being followed. no assets from all the guards subject to sentients are managed by direct 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 ranko, had a state own company called most moto cannot, which specializes in wastewater treatment. this 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 both have the largest accounts that you know, part of the research team in munich on or just how that point them
3:30 pm
a rank or finally was able to sneak their money now managed by senior port back to europe. it's complicated, but more than $46000000.00 within the family switched accounts at the end of 2020 to new sanctions, were imposed on corner more wrinkles, daughter and mistress. but the origin of the money raises questions that so the right side, right? we have millions of yes, dollars, and you have someone working estate company, the money and leaving russia. and that guy, dark thing is they don't company. and he filled out his with ford focus. they didn't see the problem or the it is on it to test drive
3:31 pm
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 scene banking zurich feet of ports managers
3:32 pm
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 bank said 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 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
3:33 pm
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. 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 a concern that these loopholes could harm switzerland's reputation.
3:34 pm
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 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 the links to a person on the sanctions list also. so we are immediately contacted by
3:35 pm
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. let's go so and not to mr. or mrs. why is it bob? 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 would 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 that
3:36 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 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
3:37 pm
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
3:38 pm
they're responsible in, in the set going good can. how does that 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 and all of that seems to me that that's the big difference in that. so we'll get a bus that goes 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 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 continue i gained for if you don't, then the corresponding sanctions that banks have been implemented accordingly. the implement, the liberal kick you almost showed that associated with the bankers who quoted this
3:39 pm
figure calculated all the russian assets for the lakers sold or to me. then upward . 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 call that the of the frustrating but for some, just the tip of the iceberg switch politician but he's, tony knows the situation. well. he's a lawyer and member of the legal affairs committee and is angered by the lack of controls. it's about to please on. i am not at all saying that the people who work
3:40 pm
for the state secretary and for economic affairs are incompetent to sit button, test life if they do their job very well. yeah. 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 us say. now, setup task forces and some space 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. so if you that i'm not going to continue, it's about stopping the flow of money to rush it to finance the war, but to come and get. so i think we could show a bit more goodwill. definitely 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 sentients could be
3:41 pm
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 to seem to afford, customers caught our attention the 1st heavy weight in russian politics blue need ryan 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 port, 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. um
3:42 pm
we're talking about someone who is the part of the russian slave to proceed for years. okay. it was very inclusive letting me pretend because i was involved in a number of scandals reported in the media to set the homepage also to the fact that i remember you can ask an actual authority to know something that nobody knew that's just mostly north. but in this case, we didn't have to look far to understand that this is a highly problematic person. go to one, most of us, it didn't send it to you or to. yeah, i think to know a little date. do you actually treat this client's like a normal client from the mission to won't, even though all the information points to the opposite of the triple, the category, the former russian minister was a client of fina port until at least the end of 2021. the company denies any wrongdoing 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 embezzling
3:43 pm
assets from an insurance company. he is on the international list and 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 in russia, and several lawsuits have already been brought against him. so fraud for fold, particularly in the insurance sector, shows to stop sick the amounts involved. they're also striking to say, prescott on something new, keeping with the total of almost $45.00 millions load into the account. if i have seen a port to the post office, which raises the question of whether fina port should have warned to the swiss authorities all, what was the authority to assist? we show these cases to a former employee of track, seen the french financial intelligence unit. for security reasons,
3:44 pm
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. so normally village an 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, a just give them money 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 provided, none of the russian customers we came across during our research. wanted to comment
3:45 pm
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. sports 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 for 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 sect was of course so loose that unless you let it deal with
3:46 pm
sanctions, do not apply. if a russian citizen is resident in switzerland and this trinity, or has another european citizenship, every social, separate though. so 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, rather than malta. also decided to stop all procedures for russian and bell 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, fina port explained. it is not uncommon for clients to be interested in relocating to other countries. fina port then refers them to specialized companies or provides them with appropriate advice the what is this common
3:47 pm
behavior for asset managers? we looked for answers here to the profession has its major annual meeting just outside of bound at the intel lock in congress center. $300.00 asset and trust managers match the event, including 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 you work with the russian families? but that's what i did. i, if you don't want v she you had to clarify simple thing. it was difficult. residents, permanency and citizenship. they fix it. their work meet with other professionals, such as banking and rewards, publish lawyer losing,
3:48 pm
and worked on the asset manager at all. these understand what leeway there was also, especially at the beginning with ask them to weigh about half a pre. then what did exactly, she guessed also could it be that if you could this difficulty, of course with who is keeping up to date and seen in complying with constantly changing real suspended behaviors. piece of solstice phone don't it's not easy to find out more than 11 and agreed 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 did keep the award again. there were many questions. the question, what do we do now? is to google fake cases? because what happens after a bunch of trouble that there was actually a bit of panic, a you at the task was to interpret newly imposed regulations of going was that for a weeks, you know about the list because he didn't, you know,
3:49 pm
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 reduce and stick to the rules. oh, has clicked on it above all, we've looked for people who confirm that the solution is a good one. good. but that's not always easy, it's maternity to see. we use client's head residences and monica, and often had several passports. some financial advisors will always have good ideas for adapting and slipping through the cracks of sanctions. the us treasury department has begun sanctioning switched financial expert to find solutions to hide money. the
3:50 pm
brussels is also thinking about cracking down the can go to someone who 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 thoughts. all 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 from 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 voltage. in plain language, switzerland should roll up his sleeves and better control the activities of all
3:51 pm
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 you suggest you tested our sanctions stand for, for things in particular, the vote and efficiency and justice illegality as well and any se, uh so, so personally they are in effect hold on, i remind you that there have been sanctions against cuba for 60 years. sanctions against the ron 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. key for this is obviously not leading to the desired regime change something or the and secondly, these sanctions are unjust. a kiddo who was affected. wow. it is the population that get people to 95 percent of whom have nothing to do with the outbreak of war.
3:52 pm
and ukraine or in other countries. ultimately, the sanctions come back to us in the form of inflation that attended the form of electricity prices that affect the low income households. they are in the audit 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 only again, if you don't have a definition, if you can, you can't effectively defend yourself. you can't make an argument because you don't know what your mean, what's your 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. this is mission impossible, but in switzerland and europe,
3:53 pm
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 just in some cases is essential 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 anything. he has dual citizenship of switzerland and rush i. so i did so he was brought up in switzerland. he went to school in switzerland. he pays his taxes in switzerland to see a swiss example. that is the 1st point. coxa is the 2nd class citizenship in switzerland and that's $22.00 threes a defeat. this is the 2nd point and then what will he be officially notified? a few says mall system is for some kids 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 about and how does he find out
3:54 pm
he finds out from his banks, which is blocked, his account, stressed finds out from the press and his reputation and 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, italian, and romano demo. but not english. you know, hold on. yeah, but i don't play it. so what, what is your client actively accused of? especially if we do, 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 the only, that's ridiculous, most issued feasible society to the clients. father has been personally honored by vladimir putin, the father of the best option. this is what i
3:55 pm
